Description
No matter how little you are, you can have big feelings.
Some feelings are easy, some are hard, but they all matter. When you feel sunshine on your face, you might feel happy. When a new friend wants to play, you might feel shy. When you have to say goodbye, you might feel sad. Feelings don't usually stick around for long, and this book reminds us that they rise and then they pass, like an ocean wave.
Full of adorable photographs of kids expressing each feeling in the story, Feelings Come, Feelings Go helps kids to recognize and name their emotions, and offers a first step on the journey toward emotional regulation.
Praise for Jillian Roberts:
"Crisp, heartwarming photos in warm tones that depict racially diverse caregivers holding and comforting tots."—Kirkus Reviews, on Calm
"Gentle and quietly reassuring, this is recommended for board book collections aimed at new parents or caregivers."—School Library Journal, on My Promise
