It’s Okay Not to Be Okay – A Gentle Board Book About Feelings for Kids: Helps Children Understand and Express Emotions Like Sadness, Anger & Worry | Builds Emotional Intelligence & Empathy | Comforting Read for Toddlers & Preschoolers | Ages 3–6 Years

I originally bought this book for my nephew, thinking it would be a sweet little read. What I didn’t expect was how deeply it would resonate with me as an adult. The gentle rhymes, comforting words, and beautiful illustrations remind us that it’s okay to feel lost, mad, or not okay—and that we’re not alone in those feelings. It’s simple enough for children to understand, yet profound enough to tug at the heartstrings of grown-ups too. A must-have for any child’s bookshelf—and honestly, a lovely emotional hug for the adults reading it to them.

Bought this as a gift for a 5 yr old child. The quality of the book is very good. Loved how the book emphasised on all feelings being ok and how we can cope when we are struggling with our emotions. Beautiful illustrations too! Will be placing an order for my own kid.

It’s a nice book

Good book for kids & adults to understand it's okay not to be okay.

Awesome

Nice

The story is simply superb but the I didn’t like the illustrations they don’t do justice to the story. They visual style is inconsistent as if drawn by different people, downright cheap at some pages. Otherwise great message in the story.

A very beautiful book! I originally bought it for my child, but after reading it myself, I felt so good — it even brought a smile to my face 🫶🏻❤️

Love this book I read it during drag story time

I love this book and so does my daughter

I bought this for my daughter to read, but I’ve ended up buying it for several of my friends with kids as well because the message is so nice. I only deduct one star because the writing is slightly odd in the way that the book progresses. The ideas jump around a little bit when it could’ve had a smoother organization.

Overall a good book with a good message for young kids, but it's either been translated to English poorly or wasn't edited and proofread very well; a few pages have misspellings and several pages have random capitalization. The art style is also inconsistent from page to page,which makes the book feel like a collection of random illustrations from various sources with text laid over them.

The art style is really inconsistent and weird. As in the same picture will have texture, line drawing, and then a cartoonish face. It feels like it’s AI. The message is fine though not very deep and kind of all over the place. There are an also a few misspellings, and the art feels off. I don’t recommend it.
