Helping Kids Understand Their Emotions—One Activity at a Time
Rachael Katz’s The Big Book of Big Feelings is a much-needed, beautifully designed emotional intelligence activity book for kids—crafted with care, compassion, and clarity. This is one of the most exciting parenting and children’s resources to come our way.
Emotional literacy is essential, and yet so many tools for children gloss over the depth of what kids actually feel. Not this book. With charming illustrations, engaging activities, and age-appropriate explanations, The Big Book of Big Feelings helps kids identify, understand, and work through the full spectrum of their emotions—from joy and curiosity to anger, sadness, and worry.
Designed for parents, caregivers, and educators alike, this book serves as a gentle guide for helping children build confidence, communication skills, and self-regulation—all while having fun. The interactive pages invite children to draw, reflect, and play through their feelings, which makes the book a wonderful resource for emotional check-ins and family bonding time.
