This friendly picture book helps young children make sense of mixed-up emotions. Happy, and also sad. Excited, but nervous too. Feeling friendly, with a little shyness mixed in. Mixed feelings are natural, but they can be confusing. There are different kinds of happy—the quiet kind and the “noisy, giggly, jump and run” kind. And there are conflicting feelings, like proud and jealous, frustrated and determined. With gentle messaging and charming illustrations, a little girl talks about her many layered feelings, ultimately concluding, “When I have more than one feeling inside me, I don’t have to choose just one. I know that all my feelings are okay at the same time.” A special section for adults presents ideas for helping children explore their emotions, build a vocabulary of feeling words, know what to do if they feel overwhelmed, and more.
Arguing that affect has a history, Ann Cvetkovich challenges both nineteenth- and twentieth-century claims that the expression of feeling is naturally or intrinsically liberating or reactionary. The central focus of Mixed Feelings is the Victorian sensation novel, the fad genre of the 1860s, whose controversial popularity marks an important moment in the history of mass culture. Drawing on Marxist, feminist, and Foucauldian cultural theory, Cvetkovich investigates the sensation novel's power to produce emotional responses, its representation of social problems as affective ones, and the difficulties involved in assessing the genre as either reactionary or subversive. She is particularly concerned with the relation of gender and affect since many of the sensation novels were written by and for women, and women. By examining the powerful conjunction of ideologies of affect, gender, and mass culture, Cvetkovich reveals the powerful political effects of affective expression and sensational representations.
This thoughtful, engaging book is packed with helpful hints, tips, and techniques for helping children learn to recognize and express their emotions. Feelings can be complicated, and learning to express them is a skill that must be developed. My Mixed Emotions is here to coach children through a variety of emotions and situations including dealing with bullying, understanding grief, and coping with large family changes, such as divorce. Divided into happiness, fear, anger, and sadness, My Mixed Emotions explores the four main emotions, the reasons why we feel them, and the science behind each one. Children will discover great things about themselves, such as what happens in their brain when they are happy, why they cry when they are sad, and why they sometimes feel nervous. My Mixed Emotions will become a friend and guide as children travel through the mixed-up world of emotions to discover the wonderful, unique person that they are.

* Includes five previously unpublished essays * Powerful prose sparked with Child's unique wit Well-known for his Himalayan expeditions and first ascents on rock walls in Australia and the United States, Greg Child freely admits his mixed feelings about climbing. Overwhelming are the loss of friends, the thrill of achievement, and the soul-shattering moments of risk and survival; but it is precisely these experiences that compel him to write and to continue climbing. In Mixed Emotions, Child remembers the mountains, the people, and the episodes that have made him feel his life acutely, including the 1986 K2 tragedy that killed 13 climbers; a near-fatal snakebite in his native Australia; and the loss of climbing partner Pete Thexton. He recalls his associations with world-renowned mountaineers Doug Scott, John Roskelley, Voytek Kurtyka, and Don Whillans. Child also narrates fascinating off-mountain journeys to a secluded Hindu shrine, and the remote, harsh landscape of the Baltoro Glacier, where progress has left its indelible mark. Finally, Child comments on some less tangible aspects of climbing, such as the ghostly presence that accompanies climbers under duress, and the meanings of and inevitable meetings with death.

Soon you'll be asking yourselves the question that Arboleda so deftly poses in the book: If an alien were making the decision, which of you would he put in the box marked, "Other?" -- Desiree Cooper, former co-host, NPR's Weekend America; Pulitzer Prize nominated columnist, Detroit Free Press and author of Know The Mother. Mixed-race and born in Japan. Mixed Feelings can be useful at all grade levels and is extremely valuable for training multicultural educators, social workers, psychologists and counselors. Mixed Feelings covers critical topics about cultural identity that are often poorly understood, and meets so many of the basic tenets of culturally responsive education. Teachers must ensure that students see themselves in the curriculum and they must be able to identify with characters in the books that they read. Terminology and cultural situations are explained very well. As one of the rare books about biracial and multiracial children, Mixed Feelings should become a standard in schools at all levels. -- Dr. Bill Howe Past President, National Association for Multicultural Education; teacher trainer and diversity consultant Mixed Feelings is a 'colorful' and clever story that biracial, multiracial and multicultural children, families, and their teachers will enjoy and benefit from reading. With the help of the narrator "Chamix" and all of the children's characters, Mixed Feelings highlights the importance for all children (and all humans) to have a sense of belonging. The story demonstrates how invaluable it is to have healthy and positive social interactions with people who may not look just like us yet may have significant shared or similar experiences and circumstances. Mixed Feelings emphasizes, with wonderful narration and illustration, the importance of fostering and promoting healthy identity formation in "mixed" children in the United States and beyond. --Teresa E.
