An instant classic in the world of Social-Emotional Learning, this
bestselling picture book tells the story of one little boy with some
big, big emotions -- and how he learns to see them for the gifts they
are.
The Boy with Big, Big Feelings is relatable for any child --
especially for a child experiencing anxiety, extreme emotions, a child
identified as a Highly Sensitive Person, or a child on the autism
spectrum. Beautifully illustrated and written in rhyming verse, children
and adults explore the whole spectrum of feelings and readers navigate
the emotional challenges they face throughout the day.
The main character has feelings so big that they glow from his cheeks,
spill out of his eyes, and jump up and down on his chest. When he hears
a joke, he bursts with joy. When a loud truck drives by, he cries. When
his loved ones are having a hard day, he feels their emotions as if they
were his own.
The boy tries to cope by stuffing down his feelings, but with a little
help and artistic inspiration, the boy realizes his feelings are
something to be celebrated.
The Big, Big series inspires kids to embrace whatever it is inside them
that makes them unique--whether it's big feelings, big ideas, or big
questions. Full of creativity and tenderness, each book in the series
offers readers connection and companionship as they navigate the
challenges of growing up.
