About the Series:
The six books in the We Find Feelings Clues series help children learn how to use their bodies' clues and their past experiences to identify and name their feelings and those of others. Clues are found in facial expressions and body language, sensations within the body, and knowledge of past experiences. After identifying an emotion, children also learn how they can feel better when their emotions are overwhelming. Each book follows a child using a feelings detective notebook to record feelings through drawings and words, as well as information on recognizing and dealing with the book's featured feelings. Designed to support emotional intelligence and self-regulation, the We Find Feelings Clues series can stand alone or be used as a companion to Lindsay N. Giroux's professional resource, Create an Emotion-Rich Classroom.
