I Am My Feelings

By Jacki Halton McAvoy

As the title suggests, 'I Am My Feelings' deals with emotions.
Seven short, delightful stories combined into one book.
Each unique character explains it's special emotion and communicates directly to the reader.

Smile is on an adventure hoping to cover the world with smiles.
Teardrop is sad and explains what to do with this overwhelming feeling.
Nicey talks about being kind to others,
Shy lets the reader know it is okay to be quiet and unassuming.
Bubbles deals with being nervous and scared.
Love 'runs away' thinking no one will notice but, is missed by all.
Collin and the Big Bald Tree is about being 'different'.

Although 'I Am My Feelings' is geared towards children, adults will find the stories fun and helpful too.

Jacki Halton McAvoy

Hello ! My name is Jacki. I am a very proud mother of three grownups and the owners of my heart call me Gramma. My background is in daycare, preschool, and in-home babysitting. I can honestly say I have been around, next to or walking with children pretty much my whole life & I absolutely adore everything about them. I am also a writer of children's stories, miscellaneous poems and life's simple happys & if you happen to wonder where my inspiration comes from, look no further than a child's point of view, every answer I'll ever need is right there. Husband and I were born and raised in Highland, IN and we still call that awesome town home. We are enthusiastic / borderline obsessed Chicago Bears fans and faithful Season Ticket Holders & our tailgates are pretty darn impressive, if we do say so ourselves. & just so you know, I have loved Barry Manilow since the beginning of time the 4th of July is my favorite holiday & I'm kinda sorta addicted to exclamation points ! ! ! I sure do hope you enjoy my words. Please feel free to provide feedback. I would love to hear what you have to say ! ! Enjoy & Have A Happy Day :)

SMILE

Put a little smile on your face and make it a happy day!

Huh ?

Oh. Hello!

What is your name?

My name is Smile.

My mom and dad named me Smile because I smile a lot.

Ever since I was a baby, I have smiled a lot.

Even when I was born, I smiled a lot!

My parents smile all the time and my grandparents do too.

I guess you can say smiles run in our family.

My mom says Put a little smile on your face and make it a happy day!

She says that is our family motto.

I LOVE SMILES!

I guess it’s because I really don’t know how to frown or cry or get mad.

All I really know is how to smile.

So, I figure, if I can smile all the time … why can’t everyone else?

Why can’t the whole world smile?

Why can’t we be one, big,
