Daddy Daughter Day: The Way I Feel

Happy Friday to everyone. It is time for another installment of Daddy Daughter Day. Today I present another Christmas present we have for our daughter, The Way I Feel written and illustrated by Janan Cain.

As you may have guessed from the title, this book is all about emotions. With each turn of the page, a new emotion is discovered. You start with Silly and work your way to the end with Proud. There are examples for each of the emotions and the illustrations are amazing. I can hardly wait to start exploring this with my daughter.

At the end of this edition, there are two pages from the author directed at parents. The author gives some great advice on how to expand upon the material presented in the book. I really like that the author has done this. It shows me she really cares.

About the Author:

There is fascinating bio for Janan Cain over at Parenting Press.
