Helping Children Understand Their Feelings
Introducing the Understanding Feelings Series
Big feelings can be overwhelming for little hearts.
As parents, educators, and caregivers, we want to give children the tools to understand their emotions and express them in healthy, safe ways. That’s exactly why the Understanding Feelings series was created.
Through gentle storytelling, relatable animal characters, and beautiful illustrations, each book in the Understanding Feelings series helps children navigate the sometimes confusing world of emotions with compassion, safety, and wisdom.
Why Emotional Literacy Matters
Learning to recognize, name, and express emotions is one of the most important skills a child can develop. When children feel safe to explore their feelings—whether it’s anger, sadness, fear, or joy—they build:
- Stronger emotional resilience
- Healthier relationships
- Better communication skills
- Greater empathy and self-awareness
Stories are one of the most natural and powerful ways to teach these skills. Children connect deeply with characters who share their experiences, showing them that they’re not alone—and that all feelings are okay.
About the Series
The Understanding Feelings series features brave little animal characters who experience big emotions, just like children do.
🦁 Angry the Brave Lion and the Feelings in the Heart Cave
Angry roars the loudest when things feel unfair, scary, or out of control. But deep inside his Heart Cave, he’s also protecting feelings like sadness and fear.
With the help of gentle friends, Angry learns to listen to what’s beneath the roar—and discovers that all feelings have something important to say.
Focus: Understanding anger, emotional regulation, self-expression.
🐢 Sad the Little Turtle Understands Her Feelings
Sad the Little Turtle sometimes feels heavy-hearted, without always knowing why.
With the support of her wise friends, Sad learns that it’s okay to rest, talk, ask for a hug—or just gently sit with her feelings until they feel lighter again.
Focus: Exploring sadness, emotional self-care, asking for help.
How the Series Can Help Children
