Feelings explored
These are some of the feelings children can encounter and talk about through the book.
Why this book
A starting point for conversations
Dad's Stories uses everyday moments, characters and feelings as a gentle way to help families notice what is happening inside us. The aim is not to label a child as a particular feeling, but to make it easier to notice, name and talk about what is going on.
Read together
Let the conversation follow the story
You do not need to turn reading into a lesson. A simple pause can be enough: What do you think the character is feeling? Have you ever felt that way? What might help right now?
Explore beyond the book
Keep talking about the feelings
Each feeling below opens a parent-friendly guide with simple context, a thought for grown-ups and links to related Dad's Stories experiences.

Stories, feelings and play belong together.
When a feeling comes up, families can explore it in different ways — through a book, a game or a simple conversation.
