These Preschool and toddler book titles are great for looking at feelings and emotions ..

The Way I Feel by Janan Cain - Great book that takes a single emotive title - angry / silly / happy (+ more) and through rhyme explores the implications of each one - good for seeing how emotions & feelings affect others and self !
“Feelings come and feelings go
I never know what they’ll be.
Silly or angry, happy or sad -
They’re all a part of me!�



No Matter What written & illustrated by Debi Gliori
