“Understanding our feelings is a complex challenge for any of us—and especially for children, who can be overwhelmed by the unruly emotions they sometimes experience. <i>1-2-3 My Feelings and Me</i> is a valuable tool for any parent or teacher trying to help children accept, understand, and manage their own emotions.”

- Paul Tough, Canadian-American writer, broadcaster, and author of Whatever It Takes and How Children Succeed,

Award-winning counting book invites young children to learn about coping with emotions.Young children often need help grasping the complexities of their feelings, which can sometimes be overwhelming. When children learn from an early age to handle their emotions in healthy ways, they are more likely to grow into adults who feel capable of facing life’s challenges.This friendly, positive picture book helps children understand their feelings better, giving them coping strategies for communicating and managing emotions more effectively. Using an inviting counting format, 1-2-3 My Feelings and Me invites children and adults to count to ten as they share and explore feelings together. “We feel our feelings in two important ways, in our bodies and in our minds. Our bodies may feel hot, shaky, or calm. Our minds and our thoughts might be telling us we are scared, or excited, or unhappy.” Along with presenting tools and strategies, the book reinforces emotional language and the ideas that while some feelings are more comfortable than others, all emotions are natural and important.
