Description
THE SCHOOL OF LIFE · Alain de Botton
The first Detective Feelings book – helping children aged 5–8 find the right words for how they feel.Feelings are everywhere. But naming them – really naming them – is a skill that takes time and practice. “What Are You Feeling?” is a large-format picture book that helps children aged 5–8 build emotional vocabulary: the right words for happy, proud, silly, angry, curious, and everything in between.
Detective Feelings guides young readers through a rich landscape of inner life, with warm and expressive colour illustrations by award-winning illustrator Daniel Gray-Barnett. This is Book One in the Detective Feelings series by The School of Life – the book that looks inward: how am I feeling, right now?
Book Two of the series, “What Are They Feeling?”, then turns the lens outward toward empathy. Together, the two volumes form a complete emotional literacy toolkit – self-awareness and empathy as a natural pair.

Questions & Answers
What age is this book suitable for?
The book is written for children aged 5 to 8 years. It also works well as a read-aloud for younger children, particularly when parents join in the conversation and help explore the feelings together.
My child is still learning to read – will they get something out of this?
Yes. Daniel Gray-Barnett’s illustrations carry the story independently, so even early readers and pre-readers can engage meaningfully with the book. It is designed to be explored together – looking, talking, and discovering.
How does this compare to the companion book “What Are They Feeling?”?
“What Are You Feeling?” looks inward: how do I feel? The companion book, “What Are They Feeling?”, looks outward: how do others feel? Together, the two books form a complete emotional literacy toolkit – self-awareness paired with empathy. Most families who own one go on to buy both.
What will my child actually learn from reading this book?
The book builds emotional vocabulary – the words children need to recognise and describe their own inner states. From happy and proud to silly, angry, and curious, it helps young readers connect language to lived experience and begin to understand themselves.
Is this a good gift for a birthday or for starting school?
It is one of the more thoughtful children’s gifts going. Not because it is decorative (although it is), but because it gives children a tool they will actually use – the language of feelings. A particularly strong choice for the school-start milestone.
Is there supplementary material available?
Yes. The School of Life offers a free downloadable activity pack to accompany the book, with exercises designed to develop emotional literacy skills. Suitable for use at home or in the classroom.
