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. Features: * 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. * Where relevant, coping strategies are modelled; in ‘When I Feel Scared’ the main character uses a flashlight to ease their fears and thinks happy thoughts to calm down. * 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.
Paula Bowles grew up in a house full of animals, and spent much of her time drawing and making comics with her brother. Having discovered she could actually do drawing as a job, she studied illustration at Falmouth College of Arts, graduating in 2005. She now lives and works as a freelance illustrator in Bristol, UK. Paula has illustrated books for publishers like Bloomsbury, The National Trust and Random House. She loves drawing cute, funny characters and writing her own stories too. When she's not illustrating or writing, she likes swing dancing, cycling and playing the piano.
