When I Feel Loved
Author(s): Paula Bowles (Illustrator); Child's Play
Developed in conjunction with a child psychologist, these board books focus on the main emotions experienced by very young children. Featuring non-gendered characters and avoiding stereotypical associations of color and emotion, each book introduces the child to the feelings raised by one emotion. Coping strategies are discussed where necessary. The books are designed with both neurodivergent and neurotypical readers in mind, for example, 'When I Feel Loved' includes examples of expressing affection without physical contact.
The books can be used to develop emotional intelligence from a young age, as the emotions are labelled and relatable experiences are used to help young children make connections between their emotions and what might trigger them.
