Big Feelings helps you to understand your emotions, how they make you feel and how you can manage them. Includes strategies and resources for parents, caregivers and teachers. Rebekah Ballagh's strong counselling background combines perfectly with her empathetic storytelling and adorable illustrations. 'One of the best books I've seen about emotions. Rebekah goes beyond linking emotions to colours or naming them but also describes how they make your body feel and how to manage them. I highly recommend this book for all parents and educators.' School Library News 'Big Feelings is designed to help little children but, full disclosure, I've used a couple of the techniques in the back on myself. It's good stuff.' Matt Heath, NZ Herald Ballagh dispenses wisdom and compassion in this wonderful resource that shows children they have the power to influence their emotions. Rebekah Lyell, NZ Booklovers
