Emotions and Me

The Spanish-language edition of bestselling Angry Me, in which a child tells us what makes her angry and how she tries to let the anger come and go. An artful starting point for conversations about strong feelings. "I get angry," says a little girl, looking fiercely in the mirror. Sometimes she gets angry when someone is mean and tries to take her toy away, when it feels unfair that there's not enough time to go swimming, when she's tired and just wants to go home, or when the kids at school leave her out, hurting her feelings. When she's angry, she tries to remember to use her words - even though that doesn't always work. Sometimes she can't find the right words, or the words don't come out the way she intends. But sometimes words do help, and when her anger melts away a new feeling can blossom. Sandra Feder's cleverly constructed text presents different situations in which a child might feel angry, creating a nuanced look at anger and its many underlying emotions. Rahele Jomepour Bell's illustrations show a loveable, angry little girl, brimming with personality, who learns how to express herself as she moves through her feelings.

• “Shy Me” is the next book in the “Emotions and Me” series, following on the success of “Angry Me” and “Peaceful Me.” • Written in the same style as the previous titles, this book explores the different times and ways a child might feel shy, and how they might cope with their feelings. • Ashley Barron's illustrations beautifully support the text and provide a fresh look that also complements the art by Rahele Jomepour Bell in the first two titles. • Both text and art speak directly to the heart of anyone who has ever felt shy. A valuable addition to books that explore social-emotional learning. A shy young child talks about situations when shyness takes over and what helps them engage more fully. In this compassionate exploration of shyness, a child describes feeling shy in a variety of home, social and school situations. These include meeting a new person, being in a crowded place and being on stage for a class performance. Sometimes the child feels shy with friends or when trying to make a new friend. When feeling shy, the child tries to be brave and identify what might help in each situation. Sometimes it helps to go slowly, find a quiet place or practice for a performance. And sometimes what helps is finding a buddy or noticing that other children feel shy too.

A young child tells us about the different times when he feels peaceful, as well as how he copes when he needs to find a peaceful state again. Acclaimed picture-book creators Sandra V. Feder and Rahele Jomepour Bell have teamed up once again to create a thoughtful and beautifully illustrated exploration of peacefulness. "I like feeling peaceful," the young narrator tells us, then describes the times when he is filled with this emotion. When he is playing with a friend, he feels "free peaceful"; when he is having family dinner, "yummy peaceful"; when he is outside gazing up at the sky, "fluffy clouds peaceful". But, of course, he doesn't always feel peaceful, and we hear about his strategies for coping during those times, such as taking deep breaths, imagining his favorite things, and finding a quiet refuge or a hug. “Peaceful Me” is the perfect companion to “Angry Me” together, they encourage readers to let anger come and go, while inviting peace to come and stay.
