Sometimes: A Book of Feelings by Stephanie Stansbie and Elisa Paganelli


Your body’s full of feelings:
like the tide, they ebb and flow. Sometimes they lift you high
and sometimes they bring you low.

This heart-warming introduction to feelings follows a brother and sister as they navigate the highs and lows of their day. From fear to bravery, anger to peace, this gentle story in pictures offers a simple guide to life.

This softly illustrated book goes through a day in the life of two young children, and the highs and lows of emotion they go through during that day. The gentle rhymes and pictures match up beautifully, telling a lovely story. It's great to have a book that reassures children that it's alright to have emotions and gives tips on how to handle them.

I love the section at the back with ways to handle different emotions. Children feel things so strongly and it's hard to know how to help them sometimes, so I'm looking forward to trying some of these ideas next time it's necessary!

It also works as just a nice story about a sister and brother having a fun filled day, if you go by the pictures rather than the words, and there's plenty to discuss in each picture. Just gorgeous.


I received a free copy and am providing an honest review.
