Do you feel happy? Sad? Silly? Angry? This simple book helps
children and parents talk about feelings, and includes a Feelings Faces
Poster!
With simple, sparse language, and bright, expressive illustrations,
Lizzy Rockwell introduces very young readers to a wide range of
emotions. Detailed art encourages identification and discussion of the
different characters' emotional reactions, and serves as a springboard
for discussion on emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and coping
skills.
The playground is the perfect place to witness lots of different
feelings! A girl is happy when playing with a puppy. Another girl is
angry when a boy knocks over her drink. And the boy is sorry.
Readers will learn to identify feelings in themselves and in others in
this simple, but clever book by a prominent preschool nonfiction
author-illustrator. Beautiful, detailed spreads show panoramic views of
the playground action, while close-ups focus on specific incidents, body
language, and facial expressions. The sparse text encourages children to
describe the action and tell the story themselves, using context clues
in the art and their own understanding of the emotions portrayed.
Turn the dust jacket around for a beautiful Feelings Faces poster, which
collects the emotions portrayed in the book in one long spread!
