Excited, but nervous too. Feeling friendly, with a little shyness mixed in. Mixed feelings are natural, but they can be confusing. There are different kinds of happy--the quiet kind and the \"noisy, giggly, jump and run\" kind. And there are conflicting feelings, like proud and jealous, frustrated and determined. With gentle messaging and charming illustrations, a little girl talks about her many layered feelings, ultimately concluding, \"When I have more than one feeling inside me, I don't have to choose just one. I know that all my feelings are okay at the same time.\" A special section for adults presents ideas for helping children explore their emotions, build a vocabulary of feeling words, know what to do if they feel overwhelmed, and more.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLory Britain, Ph.D., \u003c\/b\u003e has more than forty years of experience working with children, teachers, and families.
