What Are You Feeling? introduces young readers to a wide range of emotions—helping them find the right words to describe what’s happening inside. When children can name their feelings, they can better understand them, talk about them, and feel calmer and more connected.

This beautifully illustrated book explores 20 different feelings, from happy and excited to shy, frustrated, nervous, proud and even mischievous. Each emotion is explained in simple, relatable language that makes it easy for children to recognise what they’re experiencing.

Children will learn:

  • What different feeling words really mean
  • How emotions can show up in the body
  • That all feelings are normal—even the tricky ones
  • Simple ways to express emotions in healthy, positive ways

Award-winning illustrator Daniel Gray-Barnett brings every feeling vividly to life with bright, humorous and expressive artwork that keeps children engaged and curious.

Perfect for parents, teachers and caregivers seeking to support children ages 5–8 in developing emotional literacy, self-awareness and stronger communication skills.

About the Author

Daniel Gray-Barnett is an award-winning illustrator and author based in the Huon Valley, lutruwita/Tasmania.

A self-taught artist, he once studied Medical Science at the University of Sydney before realising storytelling had a far lower mortality rate.

His books have been recognised by the Children’s Book Council of Australia, the Society of Illustrators, and the International Youth Library, and he has collaborated with Children’s Laureates Sally Rippin (Australia) and Joseph Coelho (UK).

Daniel is autistic and a passionate advocate for neurodivergent creatives, LGBTQIA+ rights, children's literacy and the power of storytelling. He has been a judge for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards, a peer assessor for Arts Tasmania and regularly speaks to kids (and grownups!) about why books, stories, art and being creative is so important.

Daniel lives with his husband, kids, and dogs and hopes to tell a few more stories before turning into a grumpy old man.

    The School of Life: Relationships
    Few things promise us greater happiness than our relationships, yet few things more reliably deliver misery and frustration. Our error is to suppose that we are born knowing how to love and that managing a relationship might therefore be intuitive and easy. The School of Life: Relationships starts from a different premise: that love is a skill to be learnt,...

  • Big Ideas for Curious Minds
    Children are, in many ways, born philosophers. Without prompting, they ask some of the largest questions: about time, mortality, happiness, and the meaning of it all. Yet sadly, too often, this inborn curiosity is not developed, and with age, the questions fall away. Big Ideas for Curious Minds is a book designed to harness children's spontaneous philosophical instinct and to...
