Squiggles is always caring and loves to help others. He doesn't help people just to get something in return; he is simply very kind. But when a classmate borrows his favorite shiny markers and returns them ruined without even a thank you, Squiggles feels a brand-new, overwhelming emotion: ANGER!
He is so mad he wants to scream, and even his favorite bubble jacket can't comfort him. Fortunately, his teacher steps in to validate his feelings and show him that it's okay to be angry-it's what we choose to do with that anger that matters.
Through a heartwarming journey of self-discovery, Squiggles learns valuable, actionable coping mechanisms to navigate his big emotions. He discovers how taking deep breaths and counting the bubbles on his jacket can give his brain a break, helping him calm down enough to make good choices and confront his classmate peacefully.
Why this book will enter your child's heart:- Relatable scenarios: Children will easily understand Squiggles' frustration over a ruined toy.
- Actionable coping tools: The bubble jacket breathing and counting exercises give kids real-world self-regulation techniques they can use instantly.
- Empowering message: It teaches kids that while they cannot control other people's actions, they are completely in charge of their own responses.
- Promotes empathy and forgiveness: Squiggles not only learns to forgive but shares his coping tools with his classmate to help him become braver and kinder.
As a wonderful bonus, this book includes Squiggles' Tools for Big Feelings at the end-a simple, interactive guide perfect for parents, teachers, and counselors to practice emotional regulation with their little ones.
