The Too-Hot Feeling: A Gentle Story About Anger, Frustration, and Cooling Down for Sensitive Children

Saffi the fennec has the biggest ears in the whole desert. She feels everything.All morning, Saffi builds a tall, fine tower in the sand at the edge of the cool oasis. Then the big kids come splashing past, and in one wave it is gone. A hot, tight feeling climbs up from her paws all the way to the tips of her ears. Too hot to sit still.But down in the cool shallows waits one smooth river-stone. Hold the cool, and hold it, and the hot has somewhere to go, until Saffi is just Saffi again, ready to build something new, something the waves can't knock down.A tender, beautifully illustrated story about anger and cooling down, for every child who feels the world a little more than most, and the grown-ups who love them. Perfect for big feelings, frustration, and gentle bedtime reading.
