There's only one word to describe A Little Book About Feelings: darling.

I stumbled upon this week's kid-friendly app, by PicPocket Books, much like I do with many of the apps I fall in love with - by accident. As soon as I saw this little digital treasure, I just knew I had to share it.

A Little Book About Feelings is based on an episode of the award-winning children's program "Ruby's Studio" entitled "The Feelings Show." It features the cutest little characters known to man - tiny handmade animals made out of felt.

Narrated by "Ruby" from "Ruby's Studio," the app is a priceless social story about feelings and paints a vivid and loving picture of what feelings are and that everyone has them.

"Feelings are a part of you and everyone you know," the app reads. "They are important. Feelings are reactions to things going on around us and inside us. You can see feelings on faces and bodies."

This app is recommended for kids up to 6 years old, but my 10-year-old special needs son loves it. It's a perfect way to help him understand feelings, which are an abstract concept for him and hard to grasp.

A Little Book About Feelings is available on iTunes for $0.99.
