The Little Book About Feelings/Lilla känsloboken

Anger that burns, joy that bubbles, worry that rubs and aches – for young children, feelings are intense, physical, and sometimes hard to understand. The Little Book About Feelings introduces emotions in a playful, safe, and accessible way, helping children make sense of what they feel and how they can handle it. 

Through a mix of short factual sections and lively stories, the book explores ten different emotions, from happiness and curiosity to fear and shame. With colourful illustrations, simple texts, and open-ended questions, it invites conversation and reflection, making it an ideal tool for reading together at home, in preschool, or in group settings.

Written by child psychologist Reyhaneh Ahangaran, author of several bestselling books on emotions and mental health for older children, and illustrated by Maria Källström, The Little Book About Feelings offers a warm and reassuring introduction to emotional literacy for younger readers.

Reviews

Swedish Library Service

The language is easy to read and speaks directly to its audience with appropriate examples and references. The author is Reyhaneh Ahangaran, who is also a psychologist, and the warm, expressive, and imaginative illustrations are by Maria Källström, adding an extra dimension to the text. The Little Book of Emotions is equally suitable for reading alone or together with an adult and invites many conversations about different emotions and how to handle them. The book can also serve as a great starting point for discussing emotions both in school and preschool.
