Join Aroha and her friends as they navigate their way through four emotions: sadness, anger, shame and fear.The Latin derivative for the word emotion, 'emotere,' literally means energy in motion. Following on from the huge success of 'Aroha's Way', Aroha and her friends are again showing children they are not alone in feeling uncomfortable emotions and empowering them with strategies to manage those feelings when they arise.In the back of the book, we have extra notes in the hope that it will again open up conversations between adults and children.

This book will pair up perfectly with the #1 best-selling and award-winning book, How Do I Feel? A Dictionary of Emotions by Rebekah Lipp and Craig Phillips.\nWe all experience emotions. Big ones, small ones, joyous one and uncomfortable ones. Each emotion is simply energy that travels through us. When they do, they are trying to give us a message to help us. Never feel bad about experiencing an emotion. All emotions are healthy and normal. It is what you do with the emotions that is important. You can learn more about yourself and what you need through the messages that emotions provide us. 
When an emotion comes to visit us, sometimes it can feel overwhelming. Certain emotions can make us react in ways that we might regret. We might say something we don't mean. We might lash out at someone when we don't actually want to hurt them. Sometimes they bubble up and can feel like they are about to burst out of us. It can be hard to know what to do when we are feeling intense emotions inside. This is why it is a great idea to learn ways to release emotions safely from our bodies, so we don't end up hurting ourselves or others. 
Emotions are energy that flows into our bodies and should flow back out again. This book is all about ways to allow emotional energy to flow out in healthy and safe ways that you can try. See which ones you like best and work for you.\nRecipient of a 2022 Contestable Fund Grant from Copyright Licensing New Zealand.\n⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "As a parent educator I am always looking for tools and ideas that can help parents and kids with understanding and accepting big feelings. I absolutely adore this book and would recommend it to any parent looking to increase their child's and their own vocabulary around emotions and in turn resilience in the face of challenging times. This is one of the biggest gifts we can give to our kids, and this book is a fantastic way to give kids resources and ideas for managing their feelings. It just might even help us as adults too!" - Genevieve Muir, Connected Parenting
