Employing a brilliant combination of sensitivity and humor, Scottish composer Stephen Fischbacher writes songs that address the most common challenges facing children today, from bullying and changing family structures to loneliness. Developed with support from the School of Emotional Literacy, These Are Our Emotions strikes a chord with children and adults alike, offering a fresh and playful angle on day-to-day feelings and situations.

The songbook includes words-only versions of the songs, full musical scores, ideas for using the songs in the classroom, as well as suggestions for movements and gestures. Featuring excellent musicianship and whimsical recording gimmicks, the CD provides both full vocal versions of the songs and instrumental versions that can serve as accompaniment.

Irresistibly fun and easy-to-learn, the songs in These Are Our Emotions help children explore, celebrate and express their emotions, whatever their circumstances.

"Social and emotional development is ... an important area in our schools. Many teachers are looking for ways to ... enter into this development work that will be both appealing and respectful towards the children. ... The material that Fischy Music produces especially for this purpose has all the right elements: catchy tunes, easy lyrics, storylines that reflect everyday situations and feelings. This is an excellent resource for schools where the self esteem and emotional well-being of the pupils is a high priority."
