Are the emotion names printed on the back? They’re not. Our Emotion Friends were designed with an important perspective in mind: feelings are universal, but the way we identify and express them varies across languages, cultures, and families. That’s why we don’t print the names directly on the friends. This lets every language, culture, and unique interpretation shine through. If you’d like to use the names we selected, a card with all the emotions and their names will be included in your package.
