What happens when a child's feelings stop talking?

In Little Me Meets My Big Feelings, a thoughtful and reassuring picture book for children ages 6-8, one child wakes up to a strange quiet. Her feelings-Happy, Sad, Angry, and Excited-are still there, but they've gone on strike. Not to cause trouble, but because they want to be heard.

As the day unfolds at home and at school, the child begins to notice how confusing and heavy it feels when emotions are ignored. Through gentle moments of listening and understanding, she discovers an important truth: feelings aren't problems to fix-they are messages to understand.

Rooted in child psychology and social-emotional learning, this book helps children:

With simple, age-appropriate language and soft, expressive illustrations, Little Me Meets My Big Feelings creates a safe space for children to explore their inner world. It's a comforting read for sensitive children, a powerful tool for emotional learning, and a story families and classrooms will return to again and again.

Perfect for bedtime, shared reading, and social-emotional learning at home or school, this book supports children in building a lifelong skill: learning to listen to themselves.
