"Have you ever wanted to know why you giggle and whether your gut really has feelings? This is the book for you! Feeling Your Feelings is an empowering, interdisciplinary look at how, why, and where human feel emotions, structured as a fun toe-to-head tour through the human body. In prolific, award-winning author Tanya Lloyd Kyi's signature funny, frank tone, the book explores: scientific theories about where in the body our emotions "happen" (hint: it's not just the brain!); why we have bodily reactions to some feelings, like why anger makes us want to stomp our feet and why fear leads to goosebumps; how our brains try to guide us as we process our feelings; traditional cultural beliefs about how to soothe emotions that still work today; [and] cutting-edge scientific research about how to handle big feelings. More fun than an ordinary look at feelings, this from-the-feet-up mix of science, history and cultural studies will empower kids to understand their emotions and practice self-regulation. The practical, friendly tone paired with funny cartoon illustrations by Phil Nicholls makes this a book kids will want to pick up on their own"--
