Logo3 (1).png

The best-selling children's book series, The Big Feelings Friends ("BFF"), is geared toward children ages 0-10.  It contains valuable lessons for those big and small and reminds children that although we all feel big feelings at times, we can use strategies to process and regulate these emotions. The series also promotes the importance of being kind and empathetic toward others and setting healthy boundaries.

Introducing the newest title in the BFF Series:
Cat's Crazy Hair Catastrophe

At Everkind Elementary, Spirit Week is a time for fun and flair, but for Catarina, it’s a full-blown fashion fiasco! When Crazy Hair Day arrives, her perfectionism takes over. No pigtail is quite right. No headband will do. She's convinced the only option is... not going at all.

That is, until Mom shows up with spaghetti in her hair and a lesson in letting loose!

Sheepishly Sorry

Meet May - a kindhearted and sensitive sheep who reminds us that apologizing is not always easy, even when we genuinely feel sorry.  This book is for our little ones who, like May, feel so upset about the idea of hurting others that they simply can’t say the words, “I’m sorry.” It reminds us that actions speak louder than words, and that we can show we are sorry in other, often more heartfelt, ways.  After all, squawking without thought should be left to the birds!

​

Praise for Sheepishly Sorry:

"Making a mistake or causing an accident and having to say sorry can be tricky. May shows us how we can be creative in making amends with those we care about."

Picky the Panda & the Tickly Tail

Meet Picky - a highly sensitive panda who feels things more intensely than her classmates. While Picky’s powerful senses often cause her tail to tickle, she is reminded by a special teacher that when things feel overwhelming, sometimes less is more. Once she has a chance to reset, Picky and her friends discover that her beautiful and caring heart is the most sensitive part about her.

​

Praise for Picky:

"As a speech therapist who works with children with sensory needs, I can honestly say that this author nailed it!"

Bobby the Snake and the Broken TV

Meet Bobby - a lovable and sensitive snake who learns to recharge through nature, movement, and taking a deep breath. This wonderful addition to The Big Feelings Friends series provides children with an important reminder to get off the screens (iPad, TV, video games) and play outside!

​

Praise for Bobby:

"Sharing the importance of taking a break from screens (or anything you may be obsessed with) and reconnecting with the world, is a lesson we could all learn from Bobby! Wonderful story for many age groups."

Squeaky Kiki

Meet Kiki - a pleasant and polite bunny, who finds happiness in pleasing others. Kiki's friends think she is called Squeaky Kiki because she is mild and meek, but they have yet to hear her SQUEAK! Once Kiki learns to stand up for herself, use her voice, and set boundaries, she and her friends experience friendship in a fair and fulfilling way.

​

Praise for Kiki:

"This story was so sweet and told such a beautiful message for all children and families.... My three kids loved this book for so many different reasons but they could all relate to a time when speaking up in a proper way allowed for great success."
