Hilly Discovers Her Feelings by Meytal Raz-Nave
This product was recommended by Harriet Chan from CocoFinder
This exciting book features Hilly, who takes us on a journey through the day, sharing all of her experiences with her – and after each event, she explains her feelings using cute poems. It encourages children to recognize others’ feelings and sentiments through facial expressions and in themselves through everyday events. The author used rhymes and stunning visuals to help children understand that feelings are normal, that they are there to assist us, and that we should let them go. Feelings like embarrassment, disappointment, and fear, among others, can be frightening to youngsters because they appear to be so overwhelming. It would undoubtedly be an excellent starting point for assisting a child in recognizing and dealing with their feelings.
