Description
A child can be hurt not only by bruises you can see, but by moments that cut deep inside.
A harsh word from a classmate. A friend who turns away. The invisible pressure to be "perfect."
To a child, these moments can feel like little blows to the heart.
And without the right tools, those feelings can grow too loud, too heavy, too hard to carry.
Small Hearts, Big Feelings isn't just a story about little performers in a theater show -- it can gently support kids ages 4-8 in noticing, naming, and calming their emotions.
It reads like a quiet invitation to ask: "How do you feel?" -- and to discover safe ways of answering.
Inside, your child will find:
? Simple self-regulation tools to try right away (breathing games, body-awareness exercises, creative expression)
? Activities that help with kids dealing with anger as well as disappointment, stress, or sadness
? A "Rainbow of Feelings" chart, a resource many families use when looking for books for emotional regulation kids
? Pages that invite reflection and imagination, encouraging children to stretch like growth mindset books for kids
? Gentle moments that touch on personal space and body awareness -- so the story can also serve as a safe body book for kids
? Tips for parents and educators on supporting emotional safety, useful when a child needs something close to a sensitive kids book
? Themes of limits, respect, and understanding -- elements that naturally appear in any boundaries book for kids
? Illustrations and prompts that spark curiosity about feelings and thoughts, inviting children to ask in their own way: 'What is happening in my brain?' -- and to notice how thoughts, feelings, and body connect.
This story may be especially meaningful for:
? Parents helping children cope with stress, bullying, or friendship challenges
? Families seeking gentle ways to talk about emotions and resilience
? Teachers and counselors building emotional intelligence in the classroom
Please note: The eBook edition contains the full story and illustrations, but the interactive activity pages (such as coloring, reflection prompts, and the Rainbow of Feelings chart) are available only in the print version, as they require hands-on engagement.
Give your child the space to explore feelings safely -- so the small storms of childhood don't turn into hurricanes.
