Please do touch! With a bold design and tactile pages, heres a book that prompts young children to feel their feelings - in more ways than one.If ANGRY were something you could touch, would it be scratchy? How about LOVE? Would it feel soft and fuzzy? What does SCARED feel like, or BRAVE? Offering a variety of textures to touch, this unique interactive book invites a hands-on exploration of some very familiar feelings. For young children, who sometimes have trouble getting a handle on what theyre feeling - or figuring out just how to express it - I AM HAPPY offers a creative way to start looking at and talking about the emotions people feel every day.
