Description

Help children understand their emotions, build empathy, and learn the words they need to express themselves.

A little book about BIG feelings.

Aah, the sloth is feeling relaxed. Wow! The panda is surprised. Sometimes the mouse feels sad. Every day brings a different set of emotions for us to recognize and process, but young children often have a hard time connecting their emotions with the words they need to describe them. Featuring animal characters that are associated with 24 different emotions, Happy Puppy, Angry Tiger helps toddlers develop empathy and compassion by connecting with their own emotional experiences. This book is an invaluable resource to start building emotional intelligence at an early age.

Praise for Happy Puppy, Angry Tiger: A Little Book about Big Feelings

“You can tell the book was written by parents and educators who tested their ideas with kids. If emotional wisdom—essential to self-esteem, diplomacy, merciful service, and many other arts—starts with knowing what we're feeling, this little book in its simplicity could have an impact on the world out of proportion to its size.”—Spirituality & Practice
