How you feel is very important, and a lot of the time our emotions might not just live inside our heads but in our bodies too!
These are called bodily feelings, or 'Zensations', and you might find them all over your body. Come along with us as we learn how to feel our Zensations from the tips of our toes to the very top of our heads and find out all about the things our bodies are telling us.
An important book for any age that reminds us that the body is always giving us signals (or sensations) that lead to emotions, that then lead to actions. It's up to us whether those sensations run the show or we do!
