The Way I Feel Too
Children experience complex emotions just like adults.
Helping children identify and express their feelings in a positive manner is important for their social-emotional learning, developing empathy, and building resilience. Feelings are neither good nor bad, they simply are. Kids need words to name their feelings, just as they need words to name all things in their world.
Building on the phenomenal success of author and illustrator Janan Cain's original title, The Way I Feel Too features more feelings with the same strong, colorful, and expressive images and simple verses to help children connect the word and the emotion. Children learn useful words, giving parents, teachers, and caregivers many chances to open conversations about what’s going on in their child’s life.
Recommended by parents, teachers, and mental health professionals, The Way I Feel Too is a valuable addition to anyone's library.

Big fan of the first volume. Slightly disappointed that “sick” is tossed in with emotions.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and I am a big advocate in children’s books that help teach/promote healthy mental health! One of the key components in raising mentally healthy kids is helping them recognize the different emotions and feelings they have.
The Way I Feel is an excellent tool that gives the reader short descriptions of common emotions. With bright and colorful illustrations, the reader can learn about the initial meaning of certain feelings: a very valuable tool! I appreciate how this book includes but also goes beyond the typical mad, sad, happy. Young children are introduced to the feeling of frustration, thankfulness, and even jealousy. These are often more difficult emotions to grasp.
Take it another step further and read the story The Way I Feel Too. The author dives even deeper into the complex world of feelings by describing emotions such as worry, hopefulness, and confidence.
These two books really are a treat and I can my family referring to them often! The wide range of emotions with the simple, yet direct, descriptions really show that these two books can be valuable tools in the household, classroom, and even in therapy sessions.
