The Big Feelings Backpack: A Children's Book About Managing Anger, Sadness, and Worry (Paperback)

When Milo and Shiloh arrive at Grandma Rose’s house for a fun overnight visit, they bring more than pajamas and toothbrushes—they bring their big feelings, too. Anger, sadness, worry, and frustration all show up along the way, but with Grandma Rose’s patience and guidance, the children learn that they will soon be okay!

The Big Feelings Backpack is a heartwarming children’s book that helps young readers recognize, name, and manage difficult emotions in healthy, age-appropriate ways. Through relatable childhood moments, playful storytelling, and practical coping strategies, children are introduced to tools they can carry with them long after the story ends. The author blends professional insight with a warm, accessible story children can truly connect with.

This book gently reminds young readers that all feelings come and go—and that with the right tools, they can feel calm, safe, happy, and strong again.
