Do you have a feeling that's visiting today? Can you open your door and invite it to play?


Visiting Feelings encourages children to treat their feelings like guests welcome them in, get to know them, and perhaps learn why they are visiting. Through this purposeful and mindful exploration, Visiting Feelings harnesses a young child's innate capacity to fully experience the present moment and invites children to sense, explore, and befriend all of their feelings with acceptance and equanimity. A Note to Parents provides more information about emotional awareness and mindfulness, plus practical advice and activities for introducing mindfulness into daily family routine.


Ages 4-8, 32 pages, color, hardcover, 8" x 10".

Robert O. ★★★★★

The illustrations capture emotions so gently, my daughter now asks me if a feeling is "visiting" when she's upset. It's been a wonderful conversation starter for her big emotions without feeling too heavy.

Mia E. ★★★★☆

My three-year-old loves the "invite it to play" idea with emotions, though I wish the illustrations showed a bit more diversity in characters. The book's gentle approach to feelings is a nice starting point for those harder conversations.

Grace ★★★☆☆

I picked this up hoping it would help my kid talk about feelings, but the rhyming felt a bit forced in places. The idea of "inviting feelings to play" is clever, though, and the soft watercolor illustrations are pleasant.
