A new picture book by Anthony Brown, the #1 children's book power writer, <Tell me how you feel! > is an emotional picture book for young children. The master of imagination is now warming the hearts of children through picture books.
The story begins with the question to the timid chimpanzee, ‘How do you feel?’ Chimpanzees talk about the various emotions they feel in different situations one by one. It goes from being boring to the point where I hate all the toys, to being so happy that I want to jump up and down, to being curious about everything with eyes full of curiosity... … I honestly express the various emotions I feel in various situations. And at the end, the chimpanzee asks the child reader who is reading the book. ‘How about you? 'Tell me how you feel!'
Although it is a simple and repetitive composition, it perfectly captures the various situations that children experience in their daily lives and the emotions they feel accordingly. Also, the question in the last scene encourages readers to look into their own feelings and express them freely. <Tell Me How You Feel!> is an emotional picture book that helps children understand their emotions and express them honestly.

An emotional coaching picture book that helps children express their emotions in a healthy way

During infancy, growth occurs in a variety of areas, so much so that it can be called the ‘explosion period of growth.’ In addition to physical cognitive development, children begin to feel and express various emotions and their emotional development becomes active. Not only do they move beyond the simple emotions of 'good' and 'bad' to express diverse and detailed emotions, but as their interactions with peers increase, they begin to become interested in the emotions of others. Expressing one's emotions in a healthy way in early childhood and understanding the emotions of others as well as one's own serves as the foundation for social life in adulthood. Therefore, children need picture books that help them understand and express various emotions and psychology.

An emotional expression workbook that children can share with their mothers after reading <Tell me how you feel!>
In <Tell Me How You Feel!>, chimpanzees list the various emotions they feel in various situations one by one. Boredom, happiness, sadness, loneliness, anger, guilt, confidence, shame, etc. are all common emotions that children experience in their daily lives. And at the end, the chimpanzee asks the child reading the book, 'What about you?' That question will be an important opportunity for your child to look into his or her feelings.
Emotion coaching is necessary because most children are not good at expressing their emotions and have difficulty understanding their own emotions. The most fundamental thing about coaching your child's emotions is to help her feel and understand exactly how she is feeling. And it's about expressing it in a healthy way.
There is something very important here. It is the open attitude of parents who actively try to understand and accept their child's emotions. Parents must first try to understand and accept their child's feelings by saying, 'Yes, that's why you are like this.' And you need to talk about emotions with your child and help them find healthy expressions of their emotions. Anthony Brown's <Tell Me How You Feel!> will be a good emotional coaching picture book that parents and children can read together.

A picture book that expresses the topic more effectively with simple, clear colors

Anthony Browne's picture books are rich in not only stories but also things to see, such as techniques reminiscent of surrealist painting styles, full of detail and ingenuity, and various symbols and hidden pictures hidden throughout the paintings. <Tell me how you feel!> uses a more innovative and new technique to express the topic clearly.
While existing picture books used similar colors to express the overall atmosphere by selecting the dominant color, this picture book uses a variety of colorful and intense primary color background colors to express various emotions. In addition, we made various changes to the composition, such as enlarging or reducing the size of the chimpanzee depending on the emotion, and creating distance between the front and back. These changes not only visually express various emotional states more effectively, but also increase attention and help children focus.
