Perfect for sharing, How Are You Feeling Today? is packed with fun, imaginative ways to help children understand and cope with a whole range of different emotions.

This delightful book gives children the tools they need to deal with lots of different feelings—without it all ending in tears! It explores 12 common emotions, including happy, angry, excited, bored and embarrassed, and offers ideas for what children could do when they feel this way. This edition has also been fully updated with the latest guidance on developing children's emotional intelligence.

This is a great dip-in book where children can choose a feeling that relates to them and then turn to the page that provides child-friendly strategies for dealing with that feeling. Early Years and PSHE expert Molly Potter also provides notes at the back of the book for parents and carers explaining emotional literacy, and a Feelings Tracker for children to map out their emotions.

Let’s Talk books help you start meaningful conversations with your child. Written by an expert and covering topics like feelings, relationships, diversity and mental health, these comforting picture books support healthy discussion right from the start.
