The Feeling Book is a wonderful book that could help girls with their emotions. This book helps girls to understand that their emotions are very normal to be up one moment and then crash down the next. There is also a chapter on "Help!" which helps girls deal with fear, anger, jealousy, ect. The author helps girls to understand that they are in charge of their emotions.
