What If I Know My Feelings — Board Book

Before children can talk about their feelings, they need to know that their feelings have names. And before they can navigate a big emotion, they need to feel safe enough to recognize it. That's where a good book — the right book, at the right moment — can do something quietly remarkable.

What If I Know My Feelings is a colorful, illustrated board book that introduces young children to the world of emotions through the playful lens of Whatif Monsters — characters that make feelings approachable, recognizable, and even a little fun to explore. It's the kind of book that works as a read-aloud, a conversation starter, or a quiet lap-time ritual between a child and a caregiver who wants to open the door to feelings talk early and gently.

We carry books at EOWD that support emotional awareness in young children — and the families we serve, navigating neurodiverse households and big feelings every day, deserve books that meet children where they are. This one does exactly that. Because when a child can say, “I know what I’m feeling,” everything that comes next gets a little easier to face together.

This book is a supportive educational resource — not a therapeutic tool, clinical intervention, or substitute for professional guidance. It does not diagnose, treat, or address any medical or developmental condition. Individual experiences with the content will vary. Always consult qualified educators or child development professionals for guidance specific to your child's needs.

Explore the board book that gives young children a playful, colorful way to name what they feel.
