Shout Out: Dealing with Feelings series

A series of small picture books aimed at toddlers and preschoolers, the Dealing with Feelings books explore simple, familiar childhood experiences such as a new sibling, taking turns, making friends and feeling grumpy.

With brief text by Nicola Call and simple illustrations in bold colours by Sally Featherstone, the books highlight different emotions and situations that toddlers and young children will relate to, opening up opportunities for parents and carers to help children learn how to recognise their feelings and get along with others.

There are currently four books available in the series:

• It’s My Turn
• Sunita’s Baby Sister
• Making Friends
• Gregory’s Grumpy Day

At the end of each book there is a brief section for parents offering tips on how to use the book to help children understand the social skills and emotions featured in the story. These tips include suggestions for activities, games and conversations to help children draw parallels between the story and their own experiences.

These simple picture books are ideal for parents and carers looking for stories for young children that offer opportunities to easily discuss dealing with emotions and developing good social skills.
