"The strengths of the handbook are in its brevity and succinctness, as well as its richness in real examples. Chapters are easy to read and have a consistent structure... Additionally, there are many visual resources and cartoons throughout the book that will help the reader’s understanding of its ideas and concepts. To complete the book, the authors provide twelve appendices where the reader can find useful signposting to organisations, networks and groups whose work relates to emotional literacy." - Laura de Cabo Seron, Educational Psychology in Practice
