Short description

Ten characters show children ten feelings, from anger and fear to pride and surprise. Each character talks about its feeling, acts it out, then does a small exercise with the child: breathe slowly, give yourself a hug, stand tall. Everything is read aloud, so children who cannot read yet can join in.
