This is an unusual way of approaching feelings. In this book they are divided into 'sharp feelings' such as sad, lonely, angry, frightened, disappointed, shy or nervous, insecure, jealous, and cross, or 'fluffy feelings' like joyful, happy, loving, cheerful, peaceful, pleased, excited, energetic, amused, hopeful, creative, and proud. Each of these terms is explained, and we are told that often we feel a mixture of the two. Sharp feelings tend to make us more anxious and scared because they can grow and grow, but words can help if we can explain why we are feeling that way. Sometimes they can be caused by hunger or need of rest or a tummy ache, but whatever the reason, we should let them out carefully without hurting ourselves or others. There are lots of suggestions on how to go about this and fun pictures along with each one. When we get to fluffy feelings, it is all much easier. It's when we are at our best that we are happy and able to express how we feel by dancing or jumping or sharing toys or singing or being kind. At the end of the book there are some interactive pages for the child to fill out, which could be photocopied and used in schools. Written by a mum with four children, this book has lots of information about how to handle ones own feelings, both good and bad.
