Abstract

This friendly picture book helps young children make sense of mixed-up emotions.

Happy, and also sad. Excited, but nervous too. Feeling friendly, with a little shyness mixed in. Mixed feelings are natural, but they can be confusing. There are different kinds of happy - the quiet kind and the noisy, giggly, jump and run kind. And there are conflicting feelings, like proud and jealous, frustrated and determined. With gentle messaging and charming illustrations, a little girl talks about her many layered feelings, ultimately concluding, 'When I have more than one feeling inside me, I don't have to choose just one. I know that all my feelings are okay at the same time.'

A special section for adults presents ideas for helping children explore their emotions, build a vocabulary of feeling words, know what to do if they feel overwhelmed, and more.

Abstract

Let compassion and fearlessness guide you and you?ll live wisely and effectively in good times and bad. But that's easier said than done.

This book presents fifty-nine pithy slogans from the lojong teachings for daily contemplation and includes Pema?s clear, succinct guidance on how to understand them?and how they can enrich our lives. It also features a forty-five minute downloadable audio program entitled Opening the Heart.
