We Feel Happy

Katie Abey's bright, animal-populated book introduces eleven emotions — from happy and calm to worried, shy, and sorry — with short text that names each feeling and gentle questions that invite a child to respond. The Dr. Helen Lewis end-note adds real practical value for caregivers, grounding a fun concept book in early-childhood expertise. For toddlers and pre-schoolers, the layering of emotions, animals, and counting into a single package is genuinely efficient. The honest caveat is that this is a concept book rather than a story — there is no narrative thread connecting the spreads, and emotions are demonstrated in isolation rather than shown playing out in a real situation. Primarily marketed in the UK, so US availability can be limited. Still, for caregivers who want a warm, concrete starting point for emotional-literacy conversations, it is a solid choice.
