About This Book
In My Heart: A Book of Feelings is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps young children, ages 3-7, explore and understand a wide range of emotions. The story follows a young girl who describes how different feelings, from joy to sadness to shyness, manifest physically within her heart. The lyrical text and direct language empower toddlers and preschoolers to develop a vocabulary for their own emotions. Featuring a unique die-cut heart that runs through the book, it's part of the 'Growing Hearts' series, designed to celebrate emotional milestones.
A young girl explores what different emotions feel like, such as happiness which makes her want to twirl, or sadness which feels as heavy as an elephant.
