"My heart is like a house， with all these feelings living inside。" The physical structure of the book， the gimmick of the heart-shaped cutout in each page， which ultimately create a nested picture of the heart as containing multiple feelings， relates to the meaning。 "My heart is like a house， with all these feelings living inside。" The physical structure of the book， the gimmick of the heart-shaped cutout in each page， which ultimately create a nested picture of the heart as containing multiple feelings， relates to the meaning。 。。。more

A book that talks about the different feelings that we all experience， with fun illustration that add to the text and convey that feeling and emotion。 Too young for the grade level that I want to teach but if I end up teaching anything lower this could be a good option！

Very good explanation of different feelings for little kids and reassurance that all feelings are okay。

I loved the illustrations and how the heart got smaller on each page until you got the the last heart。 I loved the meaning of the story and how sometimes your heart feels different ways （which are your emotions）I also enjoyed how the colors on the pages matched how the heart was feeling such as blue for calm。 Highly recommend for readers of all ages。 Great book on emotions。

This book is all about how our heart is full of feelings。 Sometimes our heart is full of happiness， sometimes its strong， sometimes it brave， and sometimes it’s sad。 A heart goes through a ton of feelings。 My favorite aspect of this story is that the illustrations carry the same heart throughout every page。 I read deeper into this for some reason。 I think that this aspect of the story allows us to realize that our heart is always there it just endures various feelings throughout a lifetime。 The This book is all about how our heart is full of feelings。 Sometimes our heart is full of happiness， sometimes its strong， sometimes it brave， and sometimes it’s sad。 A heart goes through a ton of feelings。 My favorite aspect of this story is that the illustrations carry the same heart throughout every page。 I read deeper into this for some reason。 I think that this aspect of the story allows us to realize that our heart is always there it just endures various feelings throughout a lifetime。 The most important lesson that this book teaches is that our heart may shed a few layers and it might be full of a ton of different feelings， but the heart is always there， safe and sound， ready for a new feeling。 。。。more

In my heart there are lots of feelings。 This book explores these feeling and how they affect our mood and behavior。 This book really resonated with me。 I feel all the ways the main character in the book feels。 The illustrations in this book are fun and silly。 This book would be great to read to 3-5 year olds。

In My Heart is a beautiful book that helps kids explore feelings。 It is a great tool for parents to open up the conversation about emotional intelligence and help empower kids。 The illustrations are playful and engaging。 There is a nice pace and rhythm。 We’ve been reading this book with my boys for years。 I’ve bought it for baby shower gifts as well。

Wow。 This book is full of creativity and peace。 It teaches about feelings in a unique and celebratory way。 My mom bought it for my nephew， but I plan to buy it for myself。 It affirms the feelings we have and how to share them。

The book In My heart is a book that talks about feelings。 It talks about happy， sad， and emotional days。 It also expresses the importance of talking about your feelings。 Lastly， the book talks about how bad days get better and everyone goes through bad days。 This book would be a good book for students to understand their emotions better。 I give this book 5 stars because the meaning as well as the design of the book really stands out。

A sweet book that can be used to help children learn about their emotions。。。and a book that reminds adults that they are allowed to feel their emotions as well。

My grandchildren liked the cutout heart that goes through all the pages。 A little girl explains how her "heart"/feelings can be with pictures and simple but expressive words。 I think this would be a great book to read to a child struggling with expressing themselves。 But also it is for all children to give words and pictures to how they are feeling。 It's a cute book too。 My grandchildren liked the cutout heart that goes through all the pages。 A little girl explains how her "heart"/feelings can be with pictures and simple but expressive words。 I think this would be a great book to read to a child struggling with expressing themselves。 But also it is for all children to give words and pictures to how they are feeling。 It's a cute book too。 。。。more

This book's gorgeous construction takes my breath away。 I know， it sounds weird！ But if you've ever created a book and gone to print， you'll appreciate the heart cut-outs on the cover and throughout the sturdy pages of the book。 It must have cost them a fortune to print these beautiful books。 This book's gorgeous construction takes my breath away。 I know， it sounds weird！ But if you've ever created a book and gone to print， you'll appreciate the heart cut-outs on the cover and throughout the sturdy pages of the book。 It must have cost them a fortune to print these beautiful books。 。。。more

Katie read this in church yesterday and I borrowed it to read last night to our son。 A beautiful book about the wide range of feelings we experience。

Visually appealing。 And talks simply and well about emotions。 Recommend。 For younger children （4-8）， though my 11 year old liked looking/reading it too。

This is a fun one to read aloud to a group because of the heart cut out that is throughout the entire book， as well as the fun brightly illustrated pages。 In My Heart is a book about feelings。 It begins: "My heart is full of feelings。 Big feelings and small feelings。 Loud feelings and quiet feelings。 Quick feelings and slow feelings。 My heart is like a house， with all these feelings living inside。" And there we see a huge pink house shape with a heart cut out inside。 On each spread， the girls he This is a fun one to read aloud to a group because of the heart cut out that is throughout the entire book， as well as the fun brightly illustrated pages。 In My Heart is a book about feelings。 It begins: "My heart is full of feelings。 Big feelings and small feelings。 Loud feelings and quiet feelings。 Quick feelings and slow feelings。 My heart is like a house， with all these feelings living inside。" And there we see a huge pink house shape with a heart cut out inside。 On each spread， the girls heart is a feeling with adjectives and other descriptives about what that feeling looks or feels like。 For happy we see a star where "my heart feels like a big yellow star， shiny and bright。 I smile from ear to ear and twirl around so fast， I feel as if I could take off into the sky。 THis is hen my heart is happy。" Other feelings described: brave， mad， calm， broken， sad， hopeful， afraid， silly， shy， and proud。 I like the range of emotions shown。 I like the descriptions that help kids to label their feelings。 So often they don't know the word for feeling proud or sad。 They know how they feel but not how to express it。 This is a lovely book helping give kids words for their emotions and is also fun to read and look at。 Perfect for older toddlers to preschoolers and young school aged children。 。。。more

（mise en réseau sur les émotions， MS/GS）。 Petite lecture offerte， toujours dans le cadre de la construction des émotions chez mes loupiots。 Les couleurs sont belles， « l’animation » du livre fonctionne super bien， donnant l’impression de s’enfoncer peu à peu dans les méandres du cœur de cette petite fille。 De nouvelles émotions s’ajoutent à celles déjà observées dans les précédents albums。 La lecture a donné des idées à mes élèves pour la confection d’un livret des émotions et a nourri notre pro （mise en réseau sur les émotions， MS/GS）。 Petite lecture offerte， toujours dans le cadre de la construction des émotions chez mes loupiots。 Les couleurs sont belles， « l’animation » du livre fonctionne super bien， donnant l’impression de s’enfoncer peu à peu dans les méandres du cœur de cette petite fille。 De nouvelles émotions s’ajoutent à celles déjà observées dans les précédents albums。 La lecture a donné des idées à mes élèves pour la confection d’un livret des émotions et a nourri notre projet d’écriture， c’est plus que ce que j’en espérais。 Nous en sommes ravis， c’est beaucoup trop choupi ！ 。。。more

This book is so poetic and beautiful。 My 5， 4 and 2 year old really enjoyed this one！ A great way to get talking about feelings with your kids！

I love this one。 Leo loves this one。 It's an awesome book of feelings for little kids。 Some of the connections might be lost on real littles， but as an almost 3 year old， Leo enjoyed the shapes， the colors， and the different types of feelings （as well as the different heart cut outs that get smaller with each page）。 There is a LOT going on in this book， so it could be considered "too much，" but we love it， and we actually now ask Leo "How is your heart feeling？" in different circumstances becaus I love this one。 Leo loves this one。 It's an awesome book of feelings for little kids。 Some of the connections might be lost on real littles， but as an almost 3 year old， Leo enjoyed the shapes， the colors， and the different types of feelings （as well as the different heart cut outs that get smaller with each page）。 There is a LOT going on in this book， so it could be considered "too much，" but we love it， and we actually now ask Leo "How is your heart feeling？" in different circumstances because of this book。 。。。more

A great book to use to discuss feelings and how all feelings are OK and natural。 It's nicely set up with the heart in cut outs that get gradually smaller page by page， allowing for nice colors to show through。 However， in terms of the actual writing， the text is filled with mixed metaphors that are distracting。 A great book to use to discuss feelings and how all feelings are OK and natural。 It's nicely set up with the heart in cut outs that get gradually smaller page by page， allowing for nice colors to show through。 However， in terms of the actual writing， the text is filled with mixed metaphors that are distracting。 。。。more

A great entryway for kids to learn about their feelings。 I’ve read this to my daughter multiple times and it’s somehow guaranteed to bring up questions on being shy， angry， or whatever feeling she has on her mind at the time。 Not too complex， yet very creative on how it describes our emotions。

Un libro cortito perfecto para niños。 Adore el arte del libro， me dio ternura。 Las ilustraciones son muy bonitas y bastante coloridas。 Y ese efecto de que el corazón empezará enorme y se cerrará cuándo terminas el libro， quedó perfecto con la frase de "Hoy voy a abrir la puerta de mi corazón" 👌🏼Respecto a la historia"Mi corazón es como una casita"Fue una forma simple de explicar todas las reacciones y los sentimientos más comunes que se encuentran en los niños。Alegría， Tristeza， Miedo， Valentía， Un libro cortito perfecto para niños。 Adore el arte del libro， me dio ternura。 Las ilustraciones son muy bonitas y bastante coloridas。 Y ese efecto de que el corazón empezará enorme y se cerrará cuándo terminas el libro， quedó perfecto con la frase de "Hoy voy a abrir la puerta de mi corazón" 👌🏼Respecto a la historia"Mi corazón es como una casita"Fue una forma simple de explicar todas las reacciones y los sentimientos más comunes que se encuentran en los niños。Alegría， Tristeza， Miedo， Valentía， Esperanza， Coraje。。Etc。Mi parte favorita fue la de los lobos y fantasmas porque a mi también me pasaba。 😂 Y al final solo era algo que se había caído。Además me gustó que pusieran que a veces uno también necesita un momento para estar solo。 Eso deberían enseñar más en los libros。 El no tener miedo a estar solos de vez en cuándo。Al contrario。 Es necesario， para que uno aprenda a conocerse bien y sentirse seguro。Pero bueno por ahora eso es todo de mi parte。Bye ✌🏼 。。。more
