Tamir & Naya Take on Sadness is a heartwarming, beautifully illustrated children's book designed to help young readers recognize, understand, and cope with feelings of sadness.
When Tamir and Naya receive the best surprise ever, their joy quickly turns to sadness when they learn they can't keep it. As emotions swell, the siblings must navigate a wave of disappointment. With the help of their caring teacher, Mrs. Martin, Tamir and Naya are introduced to a calming strategy that helps them process their emotions and find peace. Through their journey, children learn that it's okay to feel sad-and that there are healthy ways to cope.
Perfect for social emotional learning (SEL) in classrooms, therapy sessions, or family reading time, this story supports emotional resilience and emotional regulation in young children. It also includes a special bonus section featuring three simple coping strategies designed to promote problem-solving skills and self-soothing. These activities, paired with dialogic questions, encourage reflection, emotional awareness, and meaningful conversations between children and caregivers.
Whether read aloud at home, in a classroom, or in counseling settings, Tamir & Naya Take on Sadness offers practical tools for managing big feelings while fostering empathy, communication, and emotional growth.
