Understanding other people is one of the most important skills children can develop — and one of the most difficult. Is someone angry or just sad? Why has a friend gone quiet? What does someone need from me right now? What Are They Feeling? guides children through exactly these questions: the book follows Detective Feelings on the hunt for clues — in facial expressions, body language and what is happening around a person. Humorous, warm and profound all at once. As a birthday or Christmas gift for children who want to learn to see the world through others’ eyes.

What Are They Feeling? shows children how to practise empathy: by reading clues, assessing situations and understanding that other people have completely different experiences from their own — whether it is starting a new school or moving to a new country. Daniel Gray-Barnett’s vibrant, award-winning illustrations make the difference between sympathy and empathy tangible — without a heavy-handed approach, but with humour and warmth.

What is What Are They Feeling? about?

The book follows Detective Feelings, who uses facial expressions, body language and situational context to work out what other people are really feeling. Children learn how to develop empathy — and why it matters to step outside their own perspective.

What is the difference from “What Are You Feeling?”?

“What Are You Feeling?” focuses on your own feelings — recognising, naming and understanding them. “What Are They Feeling?” turns the gaze outward: towards the feelings of others and how to become a more empathetic friend and person. Both books complement each other well.

What age group is the book for?

The book is designed for children and works well for reading aloud together with pre-school and primary school-aged children. The illustrations make it accessible for younger children, while the content engages older readers too.

What language is the book in?

The book is published in English. It also works as a playful introduction to English vocabulary around feelings and emotions.

Who is What Are They Feeling? a good gift for?

For children who love detective thinking and want to understand the world around them. For parents who want to make empathy part of everyday life. As a birthday or first-day-of-school gift that truly lasts — the hardcover binding ensures it will.

What Are They Feeling? — children’s book about empathy by The School of Life. Hardcover, 60 pages, large format, with 25 colour illustrations by Daniel Gray-Barnett.
