It’s important to think about what others might be feeling, so we can understand the people around us better and be a good friend. But sometimes it can be difficult to guess what someone else might be feeling, or their emotions may not be what we expect.

An illustrated guide to the feelings of others, What Are They Feeling? takes children on an exploration of the feelings of others. In a light-hearted but profound way, this book takes us on a journey around the challenges and importance of empathy. We learn how better to ‘read’ others and to adjust our behaviour to what is really going on around us. With humour and compassion, it shows us all – whatever age we happen to be – a way to become the more thoughtful, emotionally intelligent people we long to be.
