Tummies Flip, Hearts Skip

 

"Tummies Flip, Hearts Skip" by Kris Downing is a book about emotions. The book teaches children that their bodies can feel sensations and their minds can feel emotions. "Where do you feel happy inside? Does your chest feel warm where your heart is thumping? Do your toes tingle and feel like jumping."

"What does your body want to do when you're mad?"

"How do you feel when you are scared?"

"Where do you feel sad inside?"

"When you feel peaceful and safe, how do you know?"

"When you're worried, where do you feel it?"

"How do you feel when you're surprised?"

"When you're overwhelmed, what happens in your body?"

"When you're embarrassed, how do you know?"

"Where do you feel brave in your body?"

"When you feel guilty, how do you know?"

"What happens in your body when you feel shy?"

"When you feel loved, how does your body know?"

We embark on oh so many adventures as a result of our sensational feelings. The book is a wonderful tool for children to express their emotions. There are times when the words rhyme. Colorful pictures adorn the pages. This is a book I would highly recommend.
