Little Adventures, Big Feelings

Little Adventures, Big Feelings: A Children's Workbook for Emotional Growth is a warm, engaging, illustrated workbook that helps young children explore their emotions, develop practical coping skills, and build confidence as they navigate everyday experiences. Through eight thoughtfully designed units, children join Teddy and his friends as they learn about understanding feelings, feeling better when emotions become difficult, making good choices, being brave, building friendships, handling little problems that can bring big emotions, continuing to try when something is hard, and recognizing their own growth. Each activity is designed with young children in mind. Drawing, coloring, simple reflection prompts, relatable situations, and child-friendly language invite children to participate rather than simply be told what they should think or feel. Teddy's experiences provide opportunities for children to recognize emotions, consider choices, practice calming and problem-solving strategies, and discover that learning and growing happen a little at a time. Throughout the workbook, Caregiver/Therapist Corners provide adults with additional guidance, conversation starters, and supportive language that can help extend each activity beyond the page. This makes the workbook suitable for use with parents and caregivers as well as therapists and other professionals who support children. Created by a licensed clinical social worker, Little Adventures, Big Feelings approaches emotional growth in a supportive, developmentally accessible way. Rather than expecting children to have all the answers, the workbook encourages curiosity, practice, effort, and connection with supportive adults. At its heart is a simple message children can carry with them as they grow: I can try. I can learn. I can grow.
