In My Heart: A Book of Feelings (Growing Hearts)

Product Information

Starring the same little girl in the same charming illustration style as Hello In There!, In My Heart explores emotions--happiness, sadness, bravery, anger, shyness and more. Unlike other feelings books that tend to oversimplify, In My Heart lyrically explains what an emotion feels like, physically, inside. For example: "When I get really angry, my heart feels like it's going to explode! Don't come near me! My heart is yelling, hot and loud. This is when my heart is mad." Toddlers will be empowered by this new vocabulary and able to practice articulating and identifying their own emotions. On the cover and the right side of each spread, a die-cut heart decreases in size, creating a multi-coloured heart the depth of the entire book. As you’ll see, this is a great tool to teach our children how to communicate their emotions and feelings. Here is the story in video form for you to enjoy…and your children too of course! b Celebrate feelings in all their shapes and sizes in this i New York Times i bestselling picture book from the Growing Hearts series! b Happiness, sadness, bravery, anger, shyness . . . our hearts can feel so many feelings! Some make us feel as light as a balloon, others as heavy as an elephant. In My Heart explores a full range of emotions, describing how they feel physically, inside, with language that is lyrical but al Concentric heart-shaped die-cuts are the centerpiece of this elegantly designed book about emotions, first published in France. An expressive pencil-drawn child uses relatable similes and metaphors to describe her various feelings:“Some days my heart feels as heavy as an elephant. There’s a dark cloud over my head, and tears fall like rain. This is when my heart is sad.” A featureless gray-blue elephant sprays water on the girl from its trunk, which swoops toward her from across the spread. Elsewhere, a red cross symbolizes a broken heart in need for healing (dressed as a nurse, the girl wraps the cross with a bandage), and the girl appears as Red Riding Hood, pursued by a wolf, to demonstrate fear. Witek covers an impressive emotional range while Roussey’s childlike drawings evoke each feeling with playful style. Ages 2–4. (Jan.) Publishers Weekly

In the video we can hear phrases like “My heart is like a house. So many things happen inside … and they are all mixed up! There are rainy days and noisy laughter, big angry people and fun and games. Today I’m going to open the door of my heart and invite you to come inside”.When thinking about children´s emotions we mustn’t forget personal autonomy skills. These are what will allow children to manage their lives for themselves. A child has to know how to highlight their good points and identify those they need to improve. In addition, they have to know how to pamper, love and take care of themselves.

We may think this is too difficult a task due to us not being skilled at managing our own emotions. The truth, however, is that by working with children we have the opportunity to improve our own emotion management too.In My Heart lyrically explains what an emotion feels like, physically, inside.
