Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

An excellent picture book to help older elementary ages understand their feelings. It can be hard to find a picture book about feelings/emotions geared toward this age group so I think it will be a welcome addition to home and school libraries.

This is a perfect picture book for my toddlers as we’re talking about feelings and what each emotion is, how a person reacts to an emotion, etc. This was easy to understand, the pictures are bright & colorful, and my kids were engaged and asked questions. It’s a good book to have. Thanks to National Center for Youth Issues, Allison Edwards, and NetGalley for this ebook copy. This is my honest review.

I absolutely loved the illustrations in this book! The message that all feelings are important to have rings true and strong. I loved how the discussions with the feelings incorporated validating the girl's feelings. The positive spin on the "negative" emotions and situations when this may apply was also helpful. I additionally loved the tips for teachers and parents and talking points at the end of the book.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* cute kids book about emotions and dealing with them, the art was cute and the story was cute, as always love wen books like this have tips for adults to help too!

The story follows Marcy and her feelings. Marcy doesn't want to have any other feelings except for happy. All the other ones makes her regrets her actions. While she goes through different emotions, Marcy learns that every feeling have their own role to play and rather than to feel overwhelm at all times, allow yourself to feel all of them but never allow them to rule over you.

This was an excellent and interactive story containing colourful illustrations which I found to visually appealing. I think this book will a perfect bedtime story. Accompanied with a beautiful moral, the children will learn and also be inspired to be a better person. A lovely story and a must read.

I enjoyed reading this book and could certainly see myself using this book for a counseling lesson with my younger students as a primer to a feelings unit. I loved that the ultimate message was that every feeling is important, not just happiness, and that, ultimately, WE are in control of our emotions. I found myself thinking of questions to ask and things to expand on if used in a classroom setting.
I would say this gave me major "Inside Out" vibes and is a similar concept to the movie.

Thank you Net Galley and published for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved reading Marcy's Having All the Feels to my five year old. It really resonated with her and I could see incorporating this book with my social-emotional learning lessons in my fourth grade classroom as well. I also really liked how this book approached feelings and how important it is to feel them - both the good and bad feelings. It shows kids how to acknowledge those feeling and how to cope with them so they don't control you.

The tips for teachers and parents at the end was an awesome addition! The illustrations throughout the book were gorgeous. I cannot wait to add this to my classroom library!

I really enjoyed reading this story. I can work this into my mental health and wellness initiatives but I did find it a bit long. It’s definitely for older elementary students. Lots of fun colours and an easy read.

Marcy has all the feelings, but she only wants to feel happy. She finds all of the feelings throughout the day, but happy isn’t around much. Marcy wishes for rall of the feelings to go away, and the results are not what she expected.

Marcy’s Having All the Feels is a beautifully written and illustrated book about the different feelings that children have, even when they don’t want to have them. Closing out the feelings can do more harm than good. The author does a great job letting kids know that we need all of the feelings, but we need to deal with them in a healthy manner..

Thank you to author Allison Edwards and NetGalley for an electronic ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a certified teacher I am always seeing children with emotions all over the place. They have anger, sadness, confusion, and the brings on the fun emotion of frustration.
This book is a must have for homes and schools. Anything to help a child understand their emotions. In book form it makes it more fun for them.

This book does a great job of personifying feelings. The illustrations are relatable. I'd recommend this for elementary-aged children. There are also resources at the end for parents and teachers to address feelings.

Marcy is getting to know her feelings and is unsure if she likes them. She knows she really enjoys being with Happy but Jealous, Sad, Frustrated, Angry and more don't seem to fit into her life. One day they all disappear and Marcy doesn't like the feeling of feeling nothing at all. She has a conversation with Happy and realizes all of her feeling friends have a different purpose in her life. Beautifully illustrated so every emotion shows a different side of itself. Easy to read and a great way for kids to learn about their emotions.

I thought this was a very cute book and loved the authors take on emotions and my kids enjoyed this book. My only criticism is I don't know if I would have necessarily used the term "monsters" because kids could maybe take that pretty literally.

This might be a children's book but the execution is excellent, making it suitable and relatable for all ages. I like the idea of our Feelings being tangible figures. Some of my favourite lessons:

- Sometimes you feel so many different emotions at the same time
- Feeling too much is worse than not feeling anything
- You can't have the good without the bad

Highly recommended!

This is a valuable book about owning one's feelings. Marcy, the main character, navigates through her feelings and learns an important lesson that every feeling, good or bad, has a role in her life. I read this via NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher.

This is such a wonderful book to teach about the importance of ALL emotions - positive and negative. It emphasizes how we all experience a breadth of emotions every day, and we can't have just happy, and we can't feel nothing. I'm always looking for books that handle these topics well for my family, and this one is a keeper. The illustrations are an added bonus to give each emotion a little personality so they can be welcomed as friends.

Thank you to NetGalley and National Center for Youth Issues for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A great companion book to the movie, Inside Out, this book follows Marcy as she rejects all emotions but Happy, until she is confronted by what her life is like when all her emotions are gone. This is a wonderful learning tool for emotional literacy.

Marcy's Having All the Feels is a wonderful little book about how children can handle emotions.

I like that the emotions were personified with little creatures. Happy is a pink creature, who Marcy really wants to find. This little girls feels a lot of emotions and doesn't always like them. Sadness is blue and makes her feel bad. And embarrassment makes an appearance too! All of the emotions come to Marcy throughout her days. But then one day... they disappear. And with that, Marcy learns some truly important messages about emotions.

This book is shockingly well written. Emotions can be very difficult to write about and I was nervous that it might portray having emotions as bad. But it didn't! It showed that they are normal, and yes indeed we chase happiness. When she didn't have any emotions, she just felt empty. It showed that emotions can be good. To be happy, you need all of the other emotions as well. Biggest point: emotions don't have to control you.

I definitely like this book and I think it's super intelligent. Good job Allison Edward on this magnificent book! All the awards to you!

I'd highly recommend parents and educators pick this book up. It's wickedly smart an has a truly important message and theme. It also has awesome pictures!

Five out of five stars!

I am not sure if I would ever read this to a group of kids in a daily classroom. I don't know how I feel about the idea of little 'monsters' running all around my life as I go about my day to day living. I think it might be confusing or even scary if it's read to a bunch of kids without a one on one explanation or check-in.

I WOULD totally buy this for my collection, and definitely for the school psychologist or SpEd teachers who could use it as a tool for their one on one interactions with kids who need to better understand their feelings and learn to cope with the outside world.

This was a super cute picture book. It really explains the importance of all of the different feelings a person can have. It tells the story of Marcy who is overwhelmed by her feelings and wishes that most of them would go away, except for happy, she likes happy. I really liked how this book approached feelings and how important it is to feel them. It was super cute and I look forward to buying this for the children in my life.
