"I Have Feelings, Too" is a gentle and educational children’s book that opens the door to the world of dog communication and emotions - told from a dog’s point of view. The story follows Kaja, an energetic and curious black and white dog, who guides young readers through everyday situations and encounters with other dogs, helping them - and their human companions - learn how dogs express their feelings through body language and behavior.
The narrative is enriched with interactive questions that actively engage children, encouraging them to reflect on both their own emotions and those of their four-legged friends. The book also includes a special “Parents’ Corner” with practical tips on safe, respectful, and empathetic communication with dogs.
The illustrations are playful, colorful, and carefully designed to accurately depict canine body signals and facial expressions, supporting children’s understanding of what dogs are trying to communicate. This project is a great example of how visual storytelling can foster empathy, emotional awareness, and respect for animals.
