'Guess How Marion Feels' educates young readers about emotions in a fun and engaging way with accompanying bright and colourful imagery. This delightful story focuses on Marion’s big feelings during his first day in school. The central theme of noticing emotions in the body is a great Social Emotional Learning (SEL) opportunity for readers under eight years-of-age.

The reader is encouraged to play detective and guess what Marion is feeling using his body language and actions as clues. With this story, parents, teachers and other adults can enhance the emotional intelligence of children by helping them better understand and read emotions.

This book is especially helpful to neurodivergent children as it clearly names and explains emotions by exploring what is felt on the inside and what it may look like on the outside.
