What our experts think
A lovely series of books with colourful illustrations and interactive pages that encourage children to explore and share their emotions. The wheels, flaps and sliders provided great discussion points, for example, “thinking of things that make you happy”. For this reason, the books are great for reading together as they raise a lot of questions to ask and respond to and get the whole family talking about their feelings.
Our testers found them particularly helpful for younger children as it helped them with starting to recognise and put words to their emotions rather than having a tantrum to express themselves. The books also contain lots of simple tips and ideas which can easily be done at home, for example, encouraging kindness through earning pebbles for a pebble jar.
