Do you feel happy? Sad? Silly? Angry? This simple book helps children and parents talk about feelings, and includes a Feelings Faces Poster!

With simple, sparse language, and bright, expressive illustrations, Lizzy Rockwell introduces very young readers to a wide range of emotions. Detailed art encourages identification and discussion of the different characters' emotional reactions, and serves as a springboard for discussion on emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and coping skills.

The playground is the perfect place to witness lots of different feelings! A girl is happy when playing with a puppy. Another girl is angry when a boy knocks over her drink. And the boy is sorry.

Readers will learn to identify feelings in themselves and in others in this simple, but clever book by a prominent preschool nonfiction author-illustrator. Beautiful, detailed spreads show panoramic views of the playground action, while close-ups focus on specific incidents, body language, and facial expressions. The sparse text encourages children to describe the action and tell the story themselves, using context clues in the art and their own understanding of the emotions portrayed.

Turn the dust jacket around for a beautiful Feelings Faces poster, which collects the emotions portrayed in the book in one long spread!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"By highlighting each emotion separately and giving appropriate focus to the face of the child feeling the emotion, with the corresponding circumstantial scene on the opposite page, Rockwell gives space for readers to talk about why the characters are feeling that way. Facial clues such as blushed cheeks, tears, and furrowed brows help readers learn to infer emotions from expressions. Important work for children learning empathy and to validate their own feelings." —Kirkus Reviews
 
"The short text and lucid acrylic paintings in this open-ended picture book invite exploration of the visual narratives along with discussion of emotions. Thoughtfully designed, deceptively simple, and clearly useful."—Booklist

About the Author

Lizzy Rockwell was inspired to create a picture book about emotional health through her visits to the Adam J. Lewis Preschool.

She has been Grand Rounds Lecturer at Yale Child Study Center (2016 and 2017), was keynote speaker at the University of Findlay Mazza Museum (2016), has delivered staff development workshops at Action for Bridgeport Community Development, the Early Childhood Resource Center at the New Haven Children's Museum (2017 and 2019), and Cooperative Educational Services, Trumbull, CT (2015), and has addressed the distinguished educators of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society (2018).

The daughter of highly acclaimed children's book author and illustrator Anne Rockwell and art director and illustrator Harlow Rockwell, Lizzy has illustrated more than thirty children's books, some of which she also wrote.

"Knowing how important self-awareness and empathy are to success in all areas of life, I wanted to do a book that would be a helpful tool to parents, teachers, and most especially children.

"Most of our emotional life is affected by non-verbal communication. By limiting the language of the text, I was able to highlight that non-verbal communication. I was able to show narrative scenes that children would interpret on their own so they could make their own predictions and relate to each scene from their own point of view.

"When these events are happening in real time, it is so hard to stop and analyze what is happening. But the beauty of a picture book is, we can stop time and step back and gain understanding."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lizzy Rockwell has been creating picture books since 1989. Much of what she knows about making books, she learned as a child. Her parents, Anne and Harlow Rockwell made books in their home studio in Connecticut, when Lizzy and her brother and sister were growing up. As an adult, Lizzy collaborated as illustrator on 19 books written by her mother. Her favorite things to draw are animals, plants, landscapes, and children's faces. She writes on topics of natural science and child wellness.

Lizzy believes that, “Being read to on the lap of a loving adult is as essential to a young child’s

development as the nourishment of food. … A book is the first work of art that a child will

experience. Art feeds the soul. It connects us to our shared human experience and helps make sense of the mysteries of the universe.”

Lizzy lives and works from her home studio in Bridgeport, CT

Great, simply book on emotions for kids
Great, simple range of emotions for a parent to read to their small children to help them understand themselves. I had been looking for a real person book for my Autistic 5 yr old but this is as close as I got in order to keep the emotions simple for him to learn. Pages are thick and glossy. Book is a perfect size for easy one-hand holding. I recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars LEARNING ABOUT EMOTIONS SIMPLY AND BEAUTIFULLY

I bought this book to read with my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter. We both love it. She was so proud to be able to name many of the feelings based on Rockwell's splendid illustrations. The word "shy" was a new one for her and we spent valuable time talking about what the word means, when she may have felt that way herself, and when she had noticed a friend feeling the same way. This is a book of discovery, and it is both simple and profound.

I love Anne & Lizzy Rockwell books. The art is so life-like and simple. I bought this for my own 3 year old son to discuss feelings and problems solving-but it’s perfect for my students. I’m a pediatric speech pathologist. This is fantastic!
Caution: minimal text. This is best used as a wordless picture book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED this children's book about feelings.
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020
I have read many of Lizzy Rockwell's books over the years to my children. They love Lizzy Rockwell's stories and they love the artwork. I appreciate the artwork and the text in this book. Lizzy Rockwell makes a children's book about feelings look easy to write. This book makes the most complicated topic seem so effortless. Therapists, teachers, parents and children alike will LOVE this book. It opens up a dialogue between children and adults about the important topic of feelings. As a school teacher, I know that in schools, we are always trying to improve the social-emotional functioning of children so that they may become well adjusted adults. This must start from a very young age. Keep up the great work Ms. Rockwell. We appreciate you breaking down challenging topics for all of our little ones. Mental health is an important topic and it is never too early to teach children about the importance of feelings and emotions. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific book for encouraging self-expression and empathy
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2019
I read this beautiful book to my granddaughter on her third birthday. She was fascinated! I was surprised to realize that she knew and could articulate the words/emotions/body language for happy, sad, and mad, but words like calm and brave were new ways to express herself. Thank you, Lizzy Rockwell, for giving little kids the vocabulary they need and for showing that these emotions are fluid, depending on the situation and the reactions of others. The open-ended questions encourage little ones to express themselves and that's a wonderful thing!
