This collection of 48 beautifully illustrated cards are designed as a practical and creative tool to help children understand their emotional literacy. The cards bring to life two central characters, a little girl and boy who share and express a range of intensive feelings, both practical and difficult.

With the pictures are suggested phrases to use as conversation starters, such as:

• Sometimes I feel like fighting for what I believe in
• sometimes I can’t decide what to choose
• Sometimes I feel like singing to the morning
• Sometimes I feel like I am going to explode
• Sometimes I feel I am at peace with all things
• Sometimes I feel like hiding far away
• Sometimes I feel my nightmares won’t go away
• Sometimes I feel my head is a jumble
• Sometimes I feel like I have snakes in my tummy
• Sometimes I feel like I am lit up inside

The cards can serve as a springboard to allow children to invent their own personal metaphors for their feelings and will help them to realise that they are not alone in feeling as they do.
