What this book is about

  • Just Feel focuses on helping kids identify and embrace their emotions, understand how feelings affect their mood, and make choices that support their health and happiness.
  • It covers problem-solving, self-expression, mindfulness, and how to feel proud of who you are.
  • The book features diverse illustrations that represent children from many different cultures and backgrounds.
  • Scattered throughout are short, five-minute activities that encourage mindfulness and reflection. All that’s needed is a quiet space, some paper, and a pen.
  • The activities are designed to help kids slow down, listen to themselves, and practise relaxation – an important skill in today’s busy world.
  • Unlike many feelings books, which are aimed at younger children, this one is specifically designed for tweens and early teens who are ready for more depth.
  • Parents may find it useful to read alongside their child, or simply keep it available as a resource their child can dip into when they need it.
  • While some tweens may roll their eyes (as my own teen did when I tried to get her to read it!), the book is still a gem – providing practical, age-appropriate support for building emotional awareness and resilience.
