Description: "In straightforward language, it teaches middle & high school students about identifying emotions and offers concrete ways to manage them. Guarino's text speaks to kids, but Jeff Jackson's engaging illustrations make the book sing and give it the feel of a graphic novel."--Amazon.com. "Readers will learn the difference between the five primary emotions -- anger, fear, sadness, happiness, and disgust -- and secondary emotions such as pride, envy, contempt, and jealousy. They'll find out how to interpret emotions, and also discover strategies for managing them. Illustrative quotes from real-life teens, as well as simple activities the reader can do to relate to the concepts presented, make Me and My Feelings come alive for young people. Also included are suggested activities for teachers to use in the classroom. Me and My Feelings can be used to supplement a high school psychology course, or as a stand-alone unit in grades 8 through 12"--Publisher's description.
