My Feelings books
My Feelings books support the principles, strands, and goals described in Te Whāriki: He Whāriki Mātauranga mō ngā Mokopuna o Aotearoa / Early Childhood Curriculum. The characters are not meant to be models for the children; rather, their actions and feelings can be used to stimulate discussion after a reading.
