Everyone has feelings.
Your feelings are an important part of who you are.
Just like the beating of your heart.
Everyone one – child or adult – has feelings: happy, sad, angry, lonely. And, as this little offering points out, not only is it okay to have these feelings, but they are actually what makes you ‘you’.
In simple, authentic text, accompanied by cartoon-style line drawing illustrations, Langley explores both the sensations which different feelings evoke and ways of addressing those feelings. For example, for anger, he suggests running around like a chicken and “flapping those arms to shake off those angry feelings”, or simply taking the time for some deep breaths.
Entertaining and important, this little book will appeal to children and those who care for them.
It’s OK to Feel the Way You Do, written & illustrated by Josh Langley
