Some mornings, Lincoln wakes up already too big for his body. A tower falls. A rainy day cancels the park. A loud, busy house makes his chest go tight. By dinnertime, it's all just... too much.
But Lincoln isn't alone. Mama breathes with him. Dada sits close, even when there are no words. His big brother Gannon has a secret signal just for the two of them. And when Lincoln learns a new calming trick at school - breathe in like you're smelling the best flower in the world, breathe out like you're blowing the biggest bubble ever - he teaches it to his whole family.
I Have BIG Feelings is a heartfelt, free-verse picture book about frustration, disappointment, worry, and the family love that helps big emotions feel small enough to hold. It's the second book in Lincoln's Brave Heart Books, continuing Lincoln's journey with a big heart, a supportive family, and real tools kids can use anywhere.
Inside you'll find:
- A read-aloud story that names real emotions kids feel every day
- A gentle breathing technique kids can practice on their own (smell the flower, blow the bubble!)
- Lincoln's Big Feelings Toolkit - a back-matter guide for both kids and grown-ups
- Warm, inclusive illustrations celebrating family co-regulation and sibling love
- A story that never says calm down - and never has to
Perfect for:
- Kids ages 3-8 navigating frustration, disappointment, or worry
- Parents and caregivers looking for emotional regulation books for kids
- Families supporting neurodivergent children or highly sensitive kids
- Classroom read-alouds on feelings, mindfulness, and coping skills
- Bedtime stories that open the door to talking about big emotions
Big feelings aren't bad. They're just big. And they're always easier to carry when you don't carry them alone.
