Book Synopsis



What do you do with all your feelings?

In Marcy's Having All the Feels, counselor and therapist Allison Edwards explores how sometimes feeling so many feelings doesn't feel so good at all.

Marcy wanted to be happy. Happy is all she wanted to be. But all her other feelings kept showing up and at the worst times! There was Frustrated and Angry, Sad and Embarrassed, and even Worried and Jealous. Her feelings were there as soon as she opened her eyes each morning, and they followed her around throughout the day. Some days all these feelings just felt like a little too much and she wanted to hide!

Marcy didn't want to feel angry or jealous. And she didn't like feeling sad or embarrassed. Why couldn't she be happy all the time? Then one day when Marcy's feelings disappear, she learns that her feelings don't have to control her, and they might even have a function.

Maybe having all the feels might not be such a bad thing. And that one discovery? Well, it changes everything!



Review Quotes




I loved this book; absolutely loved and adored it. Allison Edwards' Marcy's Having all the Feels did the thing that not a lot of author's are gifted with and created a realistic children's story that focuses on feelings and feeling too much and how to deal with all of these wayward emotions for children AND adults!
The illustrations were bright, colorful and entertaining, and the story was engaging with dialogue and explanations for what each feeling represents and how to cope with overwhelming emotions.
I enjoyed that the author embraced the fact that while we all want to be happy every moment of our day, not only is it unrealistic to not feel other emotions, but without feeling other emotions, we would take our happiness for granted.
I personally enjoyed this books interpretations more than the movie Inside Out which I am sure people will compare it to. This book had an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand approach to dealing with your feelings and you don't have to watch a two hour movie to understand the message. And after you're done reading it to your child, there are prompts at the end of the story to engage your child with!

This book is wonderful, I am picky about my educational books and this one passes the test. I love that it brings up a variety of emotions and increases emotional awareness. It seems to be appropriate for slightly older children. The pictures are enchanting! It's a great place to start in talking about feelings, how to experience them and let them go, and offers a few skills at the end. Great for the home, office or classroom. I highly recommend!

I adored this book. It talked about all the different types of feelings people have and how these are all necessary. I believe this book is a need for all children to read. especially because little bodies often have big feelings and they do not know how to manage them. This book shows how different we would feel if we did not have all of our feelings. Sometimes we do not want to feel sad or angry because these are big feelings. Marcy has all of these feelings but like a lot of people I would imagine myself included at one point in time we only want to feel Happiness because this is the best feeling. All feeling however are valid. I especially enjoyed the end page in this book. that explained how we should show how are feelings are on a scale of 1-10. An essential book to have as a parent or as a teacher. Even for adults to read as not everyone knows that feelings are okay.

I loved reading Marcy's Having All the Feels to my five year old. It really resonated with her and I could see incorporating this book with my social-emotional learning lessons in my fourth grade classroom as well. I also really liked how this book approached feelings and how important it is to feel them - both the good and bad feelings. It shows kids how to acknowledge those feeling and how to cope with them so they don't control you. The tips for teachers and parents at the end was an awesome addition! The illustrations throughout the book were gorgeous. I cannot wait to add this to my classroom library!

Marcy has all the feelings, but she only wants to feel happy. She finds all of the feelings throughout the day, but happy isn’t around much. Marcy wishes for all of the feelings to go away, and the results are not what she expected. Marcy’s Having All the Feels is a beautifully written and illustrated book about the different feelings that children have, even when they don’t want to have them. Closing out the feelings can do more harm than good. The author does a great job letting kids know that we need all of the feelings, but we need to deal with them in a healthy manner.. Thank you to author Allison Edwards and NetGalley for an electronic ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
