‘Funny Feelings Aren’t Funny’ is an educational book that I have written for children aged 3-8 years to assist them to communicate their feelings in situations where they may be feeling nervous, anxious or unsafe.

The book follows a series of gender-neutral and non-race-specific gingerbread characters in a variety of situations where they experience an array of physiological reactions, such as ‘wobbly knees’, ‘butterflies in the stomach’ or a ‘pounding heart’.

This book will assist children to make the link that if they have a ‘Funny Feeling’ then something may not be ok.

The book is beautifully illustrated and brightly coloured making it a wonderful read for both children and adults.

A must have educational book for families, teachers and health professionals working with children.
