Some emotions make us feel good, positive and warm inside while others make us feel terrible.

My Book of Feelings is centred on the emotions experienced by a young girl named Simone and how she learns to navigate each one.

This charming children’s book is filled with pastel illustrations and adorable flaps and corners that make the reading experience engaging and interesting. The story follows Simone on her journey, explaining complex emotions such as fear, shyness, anger and confusion in simple terms that children can understand.

Like any child, Simone experiences different emotions at different situations, such as happiness, jealousy and pride.

The book offers valuable advice to children on how to identify and work through different emotions.

It makes use of animated facial expressions and colour to represent negative and positive feelings, articulating these in a manner that is easier for children to relate to and remember.
