An illustrated guide to the feelings of others, What Are They Feeling? takes children on an exploration of the feelings of others. One of the great challenges for children is working out what is really going on in the minds of other people. Is someone angry or sad? What might they need from us? Why are they being unfair to us or suddenly so encouraging and kind?

In a light-hearted but profound way, this book takes us on a journey around the challenges and importance of empathy. We learn how better to ‘read’ others and to adjust our behaviour to what is really going on around us. With humour and compassion, it shows us all – whatever age we happen to be – a way to become the more thoughtful, emotionally intelligent people we long to be.
