The Feeling Friends Book is where children's emotional intelligence education truly begins. In one beautifully illustrated storybook, we introduce all twelve of The Feeling Friends, each with a clear, memorable feeling word and a character children quickly adore. As Miss KK welcomes readers to Feeling Friends Island, children discover a place where every emotion is normal, nameable, and manageable.

We wrote this book so caregivers and educators don't have to guess how to talk about feelings. Each page pairs rhythmic, read‑aloud text with expressive art that shows what emotions look and sound like in everyday life. Children learn to spot clues in faces and bodies, use real feeling words, and practice what to do when those big emotions show up.

Because The Feeling Friends grew from more than 30 years of social and emotional learning practice, this is far more than a cute story. The book anchors our evidence‑based Feeling Friends curriculum and gives families, teachers, and counselors a shared language they can use at home, in classrooms, and in small groups. You can read it straight through as an adventure or focus on one Feeling Friend at a time to support the moments your child is facing right now.

Ideal for ages 4-8, The Feeling Friends Book works beautifully in circle time, bedtime routines, counseling sessions, and classroom libraries. Children feel seen. Adults feel equipped. And together, you build the foundation for healthy relationships, better behavior, and confident self‑expression.

If you are looking for a children's emotional intelligence book that is culturally responsive, joyful, and grounded in real practice-not trends-this is your starting point for a whole feeling‑filled world of learning.
