  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 1

This interesting book shows children how our faces and body postures show the emotions we are feeling. Throughout the book and in an activity at the end, young readers are asked to figure out which emotions the children pictured in the photos are feeling. This important book will help children "read" the unspoken feelings that they and others express. It can be a big help to children with Asperger's syndrome, who may have difficulty picking up on social cues and reading the body language of others.

Body talk - Children's Literature

We all have feelings and we have a variety of ways to express them. Sometimes we use oral language and simply say how we feel at the moment. “I am so happy!” “That makes me super mad!” or “What are you talking about?” Other times we stay silent, but express our feelings through body language. Colorful photographs featuring young children from various cultures portray eight basic emotions expressed with the body: angry (mad), bored, confused, excited, happy, sad, sorry, and worried (afraid). These words are introduced on the first page and further explained in this short book (16 pages).
