Childrens

An illustrated guide to the feelings of others, helping children to recognise and understand empathy. It's important to think about what others might be feeling, so we can understand the people around us better and be a good friend. But sometimes it can be difficult to guess what someone else might be feeling, or their emotions may not be what we expect. What Are They Feeling? takes children on an exploration of the feelings of others. We follow Detective Feelings, as they investigate the sometimes-complicated feelings that other people may experience. We uncover clues about a person's body language and expression, consider what they might be experiencing and discover why empathy and sympathy are important. The book opens up conversations about who we can feel empathy for and the difference between empathy and sympathy. Vibrant and amusing illustrations by award-winning illustrator Daniel Gray- Barnett bring the adventures of Detective Feelings to life.
