Does your child fall apart when they make a mistake?

Some children do not just feel disappointed when something goes wrong. They feel embarrassed, frustrated, worried or ready to give up completely.

Big Feelings Are OK: When We Make Mistakes is a gentle picture book about mistakes, resilience, self-confidence and learning to try again.

Sammy Squirrel loves getting things right.

So when she makes a mistake, her big feelings arrive fast.

Her tummy feels funny. Her thoughts race. She wants to give up.

With help from her calm friend Toby Turtle, Sammy learns that mistakes are not something to fear.

They are how we learn.

This story helps children understand:

• that mistakes do not make them bad
• how to handle frustration and embarrassment
• how to try again after getting something wrong
• how self-kindness builds confidence
• why learning takes practice

Perfect for children who struggle with mistakes, perfectionism, frustration, self-doubt, embarrassment, resilience or giving up when things feel hard.

A kind, reassuring story for parents, carers and teachers who want children to feel brave enough to keep trying.
