Description

A heartwarming storybook that takes toddlers on a journey through a full range of emotions and teaches them a simple calming rhyme to manage their big feelings.

Does your toddler have feelings so big it feels like their body could burst? Harper, a young tiger who experiences a whirlwind of emotions on her first show-and-tell day at preschool, can absolutely relate! In Harper Handles Big Feelings, author Jayme Yannuzzi crafts an engaging and empathetic story that helps your child identify a range of core and complex emotions, from anger, sadness, and happiness to frustration, worry, and pride. Coupled with an easy and effective calming rhyme for managing big emotions that repeats throughout the story, Harper Handles Big Feelings will give your little one a strong foundation for emotional intelligence and resilience as they grow.

Harper Handles Big Feelings features:

  • A full range of emotions, including excitement, anger, happiness, sadness, frustration, pride, disappointment, jealousy, worry, and calm, to help toddlers better identify how they are feeling--and make them feel seen.
  • Practical coping skills to manage big feelings. A simple calming rhyme that repeats throughout the story teaches your child to stop, check on themself, and take deep breaths.
  • Vivid--and relatable--illustrations. Beautiful, detailed illustrations depicting Harper's every emotion help kids see themselves in Harper and identify the way different feelings look and feel.
  • A bonding opportunity for you and your child. Reading this story together--at bedtime, story time, or anytime--and talking about all that Harper experiences will help you connect with each other.
