"Sometimes I feel silly ... Sometimes I feel cranky ... Sometimes I feel like kissing a sea lion." There are so many different ways to feel, and author-illustrator Todd Parr believes people should not keep their feelings to themselves: "Share them with someone you love." Parr's bold, kid-friendly illustrations portray children expressing all different moods, from "I feel very mad" and "I feel like reading books all day" to "I feel like wearing funny underwear."
To extend the lessons in this book, you can also get Parr's Feelings Flash Cards.
"Straightforward feelings (lonely, scared, brave) are interspersed with less conventional, but equally valid feelings ('Sometimes I feel like standing on my head'), encouraging children to identify and label their constantly shifting emotions. Grownups can validate young readers as they read and chuckle together and discuss all the feelings they might experience in a given day." -- Emilie Coulter, Amazon.com Reviews
