How Are You Feeling Now?

Molly Potter, who trained as a PSHE teacher, moves beyond the basic happy-sad-angry vocabulary in this follow-up to How Are You Feeling Today? and tackles twelve more complex emotions: proud, brave, grateful, frustrated, anxious, lonely, and others that don't always get named in picture books. Each emotion comes with imaginative, practical strategies children can actually use, and the back-matter notes for parents, caregivers, and practitioners add genuine value beyond the story pages. Bloomsbury Education's institutional uptake in UK schools reflects how well the format works in real classroom settings. The concept-book structure means it reads more like a tool than a story, which won't suit every family. It also works better for readers who've encountered the first volume. And the UK-school framing may feel slightly unfamiliar to American audiences. For parents and educators wanting a well-structured, practical emotions resource for the 4–8 range, it's a solid, trustworthy pick.
