Why read it?
1 author picked Marcy's Having All the Feels as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Mental health does not mean that we will feel happy all the time. This book helps children embrace a range of emotions, even some of those uncomfortable ones, like frustration and jealousy. The playful illustrations engage young readers about the abstract topic of emotions. It would be easy to get creative, helping children draw an image of their “happy” or “angry” feelings. Great conversation starter for elementary school students on managing a range of emotions.
From Jessica's list on children’s books for mental health.
