Description
California Reading Association “2023 EUREKA! Nonfiction Children’s Book Awards” Honor Book
Help children build a rich emotional vocabulary and understand their feelings with confidence.
What Are You Feeling? introduces young readers to a wide range of emotions—helping them find the right words to describe what’s happening inside. When children can name their feelings, they can better understand them, talk about them, and feel calmer and more connected.
This beautifully illustrated book explores 20 different feelings, from happy and excited to shy, frustrated, nervous, proud and even mischievous. Each emotion is explained in simple, relatable language that makes it easy for children to recognise what they’re experiencing.
Children will learn:
- What different feeling words really mean
- How emotions can show up in the body
- That all feelings are normal—even the tricky ones
- Simple ways to express emotions in healthy, positive ways
Award-winning illustrator Daniel Gray-Barnett brings every feeling vividly to life with bright, humorous and expressive artwork that keeps children engaged and curious.
Perfect for parents, teachers and caregivers seeking to support children ages 5–8 in developing emotional literacy, self-awareness and stronger communication skills.

This is a great kid-friendly way to describe different emotions. This book talks about the importance of our range of emotions and why even our uncomfortable emotions are part of being human. I look forward to using this book in my classroom. I like that there are different pages for emotions like sad and hurt so you can talk about how those emotions are alike and different. This book can be a valuable resource for either parents or anyone who works with children.
Thank you to Netgalley and The School of Life for an advance reading copy of this book for review.

Great children’s book to help them understand feelings and how to express them. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has littles

A great book for understanding emotions. Young readers will be able to better identify what they're feeling and how they are feeling. Color coded emotions also help in separating the different emotions/feelings.

This is a gorgeous book full of important messages about emotions: dealing with them, working through them, identifying them and not being scared of them. An invaluable resource for schools who want to help children to understand their emotions!

Any book that teaches kids about different feelings is a plus for me! As a mom of an almost 5-year-old, this is super helpful. This book talks about 20 different feelings, not just happy and sad as some do.: my favorites are amazed, curious, and sorry. My daughter is still a little too young for all of the words and explanations in this book, but I look forward to using it with her in the next few years as she is starting school. Thank you to NetGalley and The School of Life for access to this ARC.

This is a great book to introduce to kids (and even adults) about feelings. That all emotions are welcome. It's okay to experience feelings as long as we express them well. There are many types of emotions that are rarely introduced, for example, bored, silly, and quiet. All of them are very relatable and we experience them daily.
I'm very excited to read more children's books from The School of Life. One thing that I recommend is maybe to increase the font a little bit, or make the text more interesting for younger kids.
Overall I'm so happy to receive the digital ARC and can't wait to read it to my students.
Thank you, NetGalley and The School of Life.
