The best children’s books about emotions


There are lots of children’s books about emotions (or feelings). Many are picture books perfect for toddlers, preschoolers and even school-aged children. You’ll also find some books about emotions for tweens and teens.
Books about feelings can help your child identify their emotions, the situations that spark those feelings, and how to better manage (or cope) them. This will provide them with a strong emotional foundation, which in turn can lead to increased self-confidence and a sense of self-esteem.

You’ll also find more information about sex education on my Sex Education 101 page. If you’re overwhelmed and can’t decide, choose from my favourite books.
NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading it with them, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. Try to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.
