A young girl explores what different emotions feel like, such as happiness, which makes her want to twirl, or sadness, which feels as heavy as an elephant. Using language that is lyrical but also direct, toddlers will be empowered by this new vocabulary and can practice articulating and identifying their own emotions. Now if they would write one for adults...

With whimsical illustrations and an irresistible die-cut heart that extends through each spread, this gorgeously packaged and unique feelings book is sure to become a storytime and bedtime favorite. It will not only help your little boy or girl understand his or her feelings, but you may also hear, “Read it again! Read it again!” when you think it’s time for bed.

The Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler’s emotional development, from conquering fears and expressing feelings to welcoming a new sibling.
