'And this is the absolute beauty of this book: the clear message is that all feelings are valid and that all need to be allowed to be felt. Such an important teaching for children (and adults actually!) that it’s okay to feel things that may be uncomfortable or that we may have been led to believe are ‘bad’ or ‘shameful’. Perfect for small-group or 1-1 discussion, especially for children experiencing emotional dysregulation and struggling to understand or articulate how they are feeling.' - The Literacy Tree

'What I particularly like is that it not only names a wide range of emotions, but it also promotes that idea that all emotions are normal and welcome; that uncomfortable feelings don’t need to be pushed to the backs of our minds, and sometimes we might just need to sit with them a while. <i>The Grand Hotel of Feelings</i> would lend itself brilliantly to a wide range of curriculum-based activities, including PSHE, literacy, DT, art, and even music.' - Jo Cummins, Teach Primary Magazine

A 2025 Read for Empathy Collection title

Shortlisted for the English 4-11 Picture Book Awards 2024

'An accessible entry into discussions on the complexity of feelings, this picture book will be returned to time and time again.' – Foreword Starred Review

All kinds of guests check in and out of the Grand Hotel of Feelings. Some are fun and some are tricky, but all are welcome!


Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, where all kinds of feelings come and stay. Every guest has unique needs. Anger, for example, is very loud and needs plenty of space to scream and shout. Sadness speaks in a small voice and occasionally floods the bathroom. Gratitude likes wandering about in nature; you never know when she might come and sit by your side.

Some feelings are big and some are small, some are fun and some are tricky, but all feelings must be listened to and acknowledged. After all, they’re just passing through.

A beautiful and imaginative title that brings the complexities of emotional management to life with warmth, humour and a touch of Wes Anderson.
