We have a lovely little giveaway for you on the site today for a book focused on helping kids with their emotional wellbeing. ABC of Feelings (RRP £6.99), by debut author Bonnie Lui, is a first book of emotions for real-life kids with real-life feelings.
From Anxious to Zany, kids feel lots of emotions… and they can explore them all through the ABC of Feelings! A charming cast of diverse characters leads the reader through the alphabet, giving real and simple terms for one feeling at a time. B is for Brave, which is explained as “being nervous about something…but doing it anyway!”
I is for Insecure, or “feeling a bit wobbly inside.”
O is for Overwhelmed, or “having too many thoughts and feelings all at once.”
V is for Vulnerable, “opening your heart to show the world how you feel.”
And so it goes…all the way to Z!
With bright, soulful artwork and clear descriptions for a whole alphabet of different feelings, this first book of emotions gives young readers the vocabulary they need to start discussing how they feel.
Author-illustrator, Bonnie Lui, is a DreamWorks animator by day and children’s book creator by night. She has a penchant for storytelling and for showing children that it’s OK to feel something other than “happy.” Her work can be found in books, games, and television, and she is always looking for ways to create fun in all forms of media for everyone to enjoy.
Do check out the author a little bit more at her website, and Upside Down Books too.

Great idea, so often we as parents say “Oh it will be ok” but sometimes kids dont get a chance to say how they really feel, I think this book would be super helpful for us parents as well as children.
This is a great way to explain feelings to my daughter especiallyduring these uncertain times where she doesn’t understand why things are different. She loves books. xx
This is great. Especially in such uncertain times. Would really help my daughter.
