Proud of Our Feelings

"This book will be a useful tool to gently guide children into sharing their feelings…Its format lends itself to be used with a wide range of children, from gifted and talented to cognitively delayed, over many grade levels."—Nancy L. Olson, MA, school social worker, Platteville, Wisconsin

"This extraordinary book occupies a unique niche. It's an A-B-C of feelings illustrated in evocative, appealing pictures, which ring poignantly true to life…"—Deborah Matek, MD, medical director, Outpatient Child Psychiatry, Cook County Hospital, Chicago, Illinois

"I look forward to adding this delightful and thought-provoking book to my family and classroom library."—Beata M. Halter, early childhood educator, associate in ministry, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

"A variety of multiethnic youngsters express friendliness, sadness, happiness, silliness, anger, confidence, frustration, loneliness, excitement, fear, and security. All the characters appear together in a double-page spread at the end, obviously pleased with themselves. In an introductory note to adults, the author suggests that they expand the interactive text by having children draw or act out different feelings."—School Library Journal
