Description:
The Way I Feel is a delightful picture book by author/illustrator Janan Cain. Some pages are filled with silly kids in zany costumes; on others, a giant teardrop and a "weepy" tree show sadness and a grimace expresses frustration.
But this is far more than a picture book. Intended to help children learn the vocabulary of emotions, The Way I Feel uses simple verse and a child's perspective to explain feelings like pride and jealousy. The lettering and colors, like every image in the illustrations, work together to communicate emotions.
Recognition:
Introduced in late 2000, The Way I Feel has attracted overwhelming support from parents, teachers, librarians, counselors, medical professionals and the children's book industry. Now available in both 32-page cloth and 18-page board book editions, it is recommended by educators across North America, including the 2005 Newfoundland and Labrador Education Week committee and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The Way I Feel has won design awards, a 2005 Teachers' Choice award, and been featured by:
- Children's Book of the Month Club (Fall 2003)
- Scholastic Book Clubs (2001–present)
- Barnes & Noble "Picture Book Wall" (Summer 2003)
