Big Feelings for Little Hearts
Some emotions are easy for children to understand. Happiness feels bright and exciting. Excitement feels playful and full of energy.
But other feelings can feel confusing for young children. Sadness, frustration, fear, or nervousness are emotions children experience every day, even when they do not yet have the words to explain them.
Big Feelings for Little Hearts: A Gentle Guide to Emotions for Young Children was created to help children explore emotions in a calm, safe, and supportive way.
This gentle children’s book introduces emotional awareness through simple everyday moments that feel familiar to young readers. Instead of teaching children to hide emotions, the book encourages them to notice feelings, talk about them, and understand that emotions naturally change over time.
The story uses comforting language and child-friendly ideas to help children feel understood and emotionally supported. It also creates opportunities for meaningful conversations between children, parents, caregivers, and teachers.
Inside the book, children can learn: • How to recognize different emotions • Why feelings are normal • Healthy ways to express emotions • Emotional confidence and self-awareness • That there is no “bad” feeling
