What Are Feelings For?

AUTHOR: Abbey Wedgeworth
ILLUSTRATOR: Emma Randall

From the Publisher:

Practical, fun tool for parents raising kids. Encourages obedience and emotional health, motivated by God’s love and grace.

Fun lift-the-flap board book that helps small children to deal with their emotions in a healthy way.

This helpful and engaging training tool will help parents to teach their kids that God made them with feelings. Emotions can tell us when to ask for help or when we need a rest. Even better, they help us love God! We can always share our feelings with Jesus. But we don’t need to let our emotions control us.

Not only will children be encouraged to follow Jesus’ example, but they’ll also be reassured that he loves us no matter what we do (or feel). He can forgive us when we fail and help us to change.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This series is one of my favorites for Christian parents of toddlers. The truths are simple but solid, and the layout works really well for little ones: short lines, inviting lift-the-flap illustrations, and just the right tone. This one helps toddlers understand that their feelings matter and that God invites us to bring every emotion to Him.
