Description
Just like felt, our feelings can often get a little fuzzy. Fuzzy Feelings follows the story of Little Cat who is experiencing lots of emotions as they navigate their way through the day. Cat wonders, am I happy? Am I sad? Am I confused? It's hard to express how they are feeling.
As you turn the pages of the book with your own little one, discover together how to understand the big feelings that children have and how it can be hard to describe these different emotions. Cat learns that it's okay to have mixed or in-between thoughts that are hard to talk about.
Fuzzy Feelings is the perfect jump-off point for parents, carers, and teachers to talk to a child about how they are feeling. Created in felt, all lovingly hand-sewn by artist Cat Rabbit, it is a gentle guide to help children express themselves and navigate the big, wide world.
