Today I Feel… An Alphabet of Feelings
Publisher: Abrams Appleseed
Do you feel Adored, Free, Nervous, Strong or Uncertain? Madalena Moniz explores an original emotion on every double-page spread of this lovely hardback, which follows a little boy experiencing each one: P for Patience shows the little boy completing a huge floor puzzle; Y for Yucky shows the little boy lying on the floor, holding his tummy, surrounded by sweet wrappers.
Helpful for aiding children to talk about their feelings, this is also a fun and attractive read that little ones can use as an alphabet book, too. The illustrations are unusual and original, with a real sense of depth and emotional understanding - expressing feelings like "yucky" and patience in a simple and meaningful way for small children.
