Picture Books About Big Emotions and Feelings
Anger that arrives like weather. Worry that won't sit still. The ache of missing someone. The books on this shelf give big feelings a shape and a name — turning the hardest-to-hold emotions into something a child can look at, point to, and talk about. Stories for the tears before bedtime and the calmer morning after.
