I Feel Jealous (Your Emotions)

Helping a child come to terms with feelings of jealousy, including sibling rivalry.

Author: Brian Moses
Illustrator: Mike Gordon
Publisher: Wayland

This book explores the emotion of jealousy from the point of view of a young child. It reassures the reader that jealousy, including being envious of siblings, is quite normal and that talking to someone about feelings helps. The book suggests readers “be happy with what they have and dump those jealous feelings in the bin”.

Worth noting:

This book forms part of a series called 'Your Feelings' which tackle challenging situations in a child-friendly way, with humorous illustrations provided by Mike Gordon. These are not stories, but simply a child describing a feeling or problem they have and talking about what they did to improve the situation.
