    The Feelings Book by Todd Parr (sweetiegherkin)
    sweetiegherkin: Very different art styles (cartoonish drawings versus photography), but both books are designed to get children thinking about the different kinds of emotions out there and naming them. The Feelings Book is a little more basic and thus better for younger audiences while How Are You Peeling? has more advanced vocabulary (and a greater depth of feelings exploration) so it's more appropriate for a slightly older audience.… (more)

How Are You Peeling? is a vibrant and engaging text that strives to teach emotional intelligence. The book discusses different scenarios and feelings that could be associated with them. The book is vibrantly illustrated with food sculptures done by the author. The illustrations help to show what these emotions could look like but helps to make a seemingly serious topic lively and fun. One quote I like from the text is "Do you let your feelings show? Who do you love? How do they know?" I think books like this are so important because developing a sense of emotional intelligence and self reflection is so important for everyone and How Are You Peeling? does it in a silly and child friendly way.

Book description
This book about feelings has some of the coolest illustrations ever! As the narration asks you about your moods and emotions, the feelings are illustrated by pictures of fruits and vegetables. Saxton Freymann used real fruits and vegetable, modifying them just enough to add eyes (black-eyed peas) and mouths (carvings or beet juice) in order to create facial expressions for each emotion. The effect is incredible! The "face" to a great job showing emotions ranging from happiness to anger, relief to jealousy. Children and adults alike will be amazed.

If you liked this story, you may also enjoy "Today I Feel Silly" by Jamie Lee Curtis. It is also a children's book about feelings.
