Summary

Children experience complex emotions just like adults and helping them identify and express their feelings in a positive manner is important for their social-emotional learning， developing empathy， and building resilience。 Feelings are neither good nor bad， they simply are。 Kids need words to name their feelings， just as they need words to name all things in their world。 The Way I Feel uses strong， colorful， and expressive images which go along with simple verses to help children connect the word and the emotion。 Children will learn useful words giving parents， teachers， and caregivers many chances to open conversations about what’s going on in their child’s life。 Recommended by parents， teachers and mental health professionals， The Way I Feel is a valuable addition to anyone's library。

What a wonderful book for all to be reassured about your feelings。 The text has a nice rhyming flow to it。The pictures are totally amazing。

Robin ，

This is one of my go to books with students。 It’s a fun way to talk about feelings。 I then use the terminology whenever students are expressing feelings。 This book should be in every home library。

There are no bad emotions is a central concept to this book。 Each emotion is described and illustrated by Janan Cain。 Mom of two， Janan Cain used oil pastels to create the illustrations because she could start and stop work easily。 Tags: Emotions in children -- Emotions

Text-to-World ConnectionThis is a book that helps children articulate how the feel and how to express their feelings。 Being able to trust one another and talk about how you may feel is very important for a teacher and students。 In the world today it is even more critical for educators to pay attention to their students and when they are expressing how they feel。 You need to be there for your students and reassure them that you are here to help guide them in society。 This book offers through simp Text-to-World ConnectionThis is a book that helps children articulate how the feel and how to express their feelings。 Being able to trust one another and talk about how you may feel is very important for a teacher and students。 In the world today it is even more critical for educators to pay attention to their students and when they are expressing how they feel。 You need to be there for your students and reassure them that you are here to help guide them in society。 This book offers through simple versus and illustrations， the vocabulary children need to understand and express how they feel。 。。。more

Clown-like illustrations accompany clumsily rhymed text describing emotions in a somewhat child friendly way。

This book helped coax me into discussing emotions with young children。 Sharing just one or two emotions at a time is a great way to use this book — get the kids to tell you about a time when they felt shy or disappointed or frustrated or happy。 I’ve purchased many copies of this Scholastic book and given them to my preschooler Ready Readers to take home and share with their families at home。

Simple way to help teach emotions to young children。 It includes that emotions are part of us and none are bad。

Andrea ，

Awesome book！ I really appreciate the range of emotions covered in this book and that each one has context to help the child begin to gather words to communicate when they are feeling this way。 I thought my 8m would be too young， but we made it through half in the first sitting and the front to back in the second。 I hope as he gets older that we can continue to use this book to help foster discussions on how he is feeling and support him in finding ways to describe and express himself。

The Way I Feel by Janan Cain is a children's picture book describing the multiple different emotions we feel and the possible reasons we feel them。 As the author says， this books emphasizes "language for emotions"。 It encourages kids as well as adults to understand their emotions and be able to communicate them/express them in words。 By talking them out we can hopefully understand how to change or appreciate the circumstances causing us to feel a certain way。 I loved this book。 The illustrations The Way I Feel by Janan Cain is a children's picture book describing the multiple different emotions we feel and the possible reasons we feel them。 As the author says， this books emphasizes "language for emotions"。 It encourages kids as well as adults to understand their emotions and be able to communicate them/express them in words。 By talking them out we can hopefully understand how to change or appreciate the circumstances causing us to feel a certain way。 I loved this book。 The illustrations were colorful， expressive and wild。 Two words to perfectly describe it in my mind are， controlled chaos。 Despite the font being difficult to read at times， I really like the extension to the description of the emotions。 For example， "Im frustrated because I can't do it。 It's hard and I want to cry。 I don't know whether to give it up or to give it another try" rather than just saying， "Im frustrated。 I Can't do it。" Thats not relatable or even an honest beneficial way of going about it。 Emotions are a normal part of life for not only children but adults。 The ability to acknowledge the emotion， express it correctly， and move on is crucial。 Teaching such skills need to be encouraged at an early age。 While this book is more of an advanced beginners book it still has a very important concept that would be great to read to a group of kids。 。。。more

Awards: Teacher's Choice AwardAppropriate Grade Level: Pre-K/KindergartenReview: This book takes the reader throughout the journey of a rollercoaster of emotions。 In a quick and clever rhyme， Cain outlines different types of emotions and when we might feel that way。 Readers can definitely relate and learn some new vocabulary while they are at it！Reaction: This book is simple and cute。 Although I found it a little boring， I think it can be useful in the classroom。In-Class Uses:1） This book is a g Awards: Teacher's Choice AwardAppropriate Grade Level: Pre-K/KindergartenReview: This book takes the reader throughout the journey of a rollercoaster of emotions。 In a quick and clever rhyme， Cain outlines different types of emotions and when we might feel that way。 Readers can definitely relate and learn some new vocabulary while they are at it！Reaction: This book is simple and cute。 Although I found it a little boring， I think it can be useful in the classroom。In-Class Uses:1） This book is a great way to teach children different vocabulary about their emotions。 The words can be put on the word wall which will encourage students to use them when expressing their emotions verbally。2） For ELL's， this book is a great way for them to learn new vocabulary！ While native English speakers may know what happy means， an ELL can benefit from seeing the word next to a picture or hearing it said in a certain tone of voice。 。。。more

Amy Aldridge ，

Really enjoyable book about all different emotions。 The use of rhyming added an element of fun which gave this book more of a light hearted feel which will help in drawing children in and helping them in understanding what is being said。 The final page of this book brings it all together really nicely saying how it doesn’t matter what emotions you’re feeling， they all make you who you are。 I can see this being really beneficial for work on emotional regulation。

Of the various feelings and page spreads， only 1 child of color was given an emotion （child 8 of 13）。 This was the only child of color depicted with the various emotions。 The feeling word was "frustrated" -- perhaps because she is the only one who looks like her。 One other child of color was depicted on the last page in a group of white children。 Of the various feelings and page spreads， only 1 child of color was given an emotion （child 8 of 13）。 This was the only child of color depicted with the various emotions。 The feeling word was "frustrated" -- perhaps because she is the only one who looks like her。 One other child of color was depicted on the last page in a group of white children。 。。。more

The genre of this book is realistic fiction。 I love this book because it talks about all of the different feelings that a person can have， associates them with colors， the things you may do when you feel a certain way and some things that may cause you to feel that way。 The book has great vocabulary and illustrations， and incorporates different font types for each feeling。 I would use this book for the reading format of guided reading or working one on one with a student who may struggle with ha The genre of this book is realistic fiction。 I love this book because it talks about all of the different feelings that a person can have， associates them with colors， the things you may do when you feel a certain way and some things that may cause you to feel that way。 The book has great vocabulary and illustrations， and incorporates different font types for each feeling。 I would use this book for the reading format of guided reading or working one on one with a student who may struggle with handling their own feelings in school。 I would also use this book for the writing format of a mentor text for a mini lesson to have students right about times when they feel a certain emotion。 I used this book in a different class for a child who had a behavioral problem to teach him about all his different feelings and when he can identify them appropriately。 Great book for young children。 。。。more

Liked the way the book used a lot of self expression for children to be aware of their emotions and feelings and how to express them。

For: readers looking for an intro book about feelings （featuring feelings like bored and disappointed which are less common in these kinds of books）。Possible red flags: depictions of "negative" emotions like angry and sad。 For: readers looking for an intro book about feelings （featuring feelings like bored and disappointed which are less common in these kinds of books）。Possible red flags: depictions of "negative" emotions like angry and sad。 。。。more

Awesome book to keep in a calm down corner。 This book teaches children about the many different feelings they may feel。 It also gives children an understanding of why they may feel the way they feel。 Sometimes children do not know how to express themselves。 This book can help with that。 The illustrations are cute too。

The Way I Feel is another great learning tool。 This book names feeling and emotions。 The think I like the best is that the pictures show the emotions it is describing。 Some kids do not know how to express their emotions。 Reading this book could help them see that other people feel the way they do。 It can be used in a classroom to help the kids learn and express their emotions。 It is okay to feel all the emotions sometimes。 Kids just do not always know how to handle it。 The examples of the emotio The Way I Feel is another great learning tool。 This book names feeling and emotions。 The think I like the best is that the pictures show the emotions it is describing。 Some kids do not know how to express their emotions。 Reading this book could help them see that other people feel the way they do。 It can be used in a classroom to help the kids learn and express their emotions。 It is okay to feel all the emotions sometimes。 Kids just do not always know how to handle it。 The examples of the emotions and feeling is funny and silly。 The kids will like it and it should keep them focused throughout the story。 The kids could even guess the emotions by the facial expression before the teacher reads it aloud。The illustrations are also very diverse and show all sorts of different people。 It is a great tool for a classroom。 。。。more

Reading this always made me feel very validated in all the feelings I would ever have， I think it's important to let children know that they aren't alone in how they feel and its okay to feel them and let them come and go。 It also rhymes all the way through so it's very catchy and nice。 Reading this always made me feel very validated in all the feelings I would ever have， I think it's important to let children know that they aren't alone in how they feel and its okay to feel them and let them come and go。 It also rhymes all the way through so it's very catchy and nice。 。。。more

Talking about our feelings or finding the right words to express them is hard， even in adulthood。 "The Way I Feel" by Janan Cain is a great way to introduce this kind of discussion to our kids。 Filled with wonderful illustrations and fun rhymes， this book is bound to engage younger children with their feelings and how to express them。 Talking about our feelings or finding the right words to express them is hard， even in adulthood。 "The Way I Feel" by Janan Cain is a great way to introduce this kind of discussion to our kids。 Filled with wonderful illustrations and fun rhymes， this book is bound to engage younger children with their feelings and how to express them。 。。。more

I really liked this book because it puts pictures with specific emotions。 The pictures are very colorful and well drawn。 I would use this book to discuss our emotions because even though we may feel mad or sad， it is okay。 It is just all about learning who we are and how we can use our emotions to express ourselves。

Love it！！！！ This book takes us through all the different emotions， and also why you feel the way you do。 So many times children do not know what they're feeling when they are feeling it。 This book takes the feeling of a child and helps them express it！ This is such an amazing book to introduce in a lesson of "about me" or a lesson on feelings。 Love it！！！！ This book takes us through all the different emotions， and also why you feel the way you do。 So many times children do not know what they're feeling when they are feeling it。 This book takes the feeling of a child and helps them express it！ This is such an amazing book to introduce in a lesson of "about me" or a lesson on feelings。 。。。more
