When Big Feelings Show Up 

When Big Feelings Show Up

A children's book about making emotions less scary.

This book is for the child who doesn't yet have words for what's happening inside of them.

And for the parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver who wants to help — but isn't always sure how.

When Big Feelings Show Up was written because too many children are told they are too loud, too sensitive, too angry, too sad, or too much.

This book tells them something different.

Big feelings are not bad feelings. They are visitors. They are messages. They are part of being human.

For the parent: You don't have to fix your child. You can walk with them.

For the child: You are not bad because you have big feelings. You are still lovable.

This book is an invitation to have the conversations many of us wish someone had with us when we were young.

It's about emotional safety. It's about teaching children that they can feel deeply — and still belong.

And maybe, while reading it to your child, you'll remember that you deserve that same grace too. 💛

Be Goode 2 Yourself teaches adults to be kind to themselves. When Big Feelings Show Up teaches children they were always worthy of that kindness in the first place.
