(PDF DOWNLOAD) The Way I Feel by Janan Cain
2005
Inspired when Janan Cain couldn't find a picture book to explain emotions to her young daughters, The Way I Feel uses illustrations, text, colour and type font -- to describe "happy", "disappointed", "angry", "jealous" and other feelings that kids experience. Uses words and situations familiar to children to describe a wide variety of emotions, some seldom attributed to children. The language is non-judgmental, and free of bias and slang. Whimsical characters that appeal to both boys and girls. Widely used in school character education programs, and with children who are sick, abused, emotionally troubled or have such special needs as autism. Now available as a boardbook, "The Way I Feel" is also used in mental and emotional health programs for adults with disabilities.
