The Tangle is a heartwarming and empowering picture book that helps children understand and move through big feelings. Geared toward ages 3-10, this concept-driven story introduces young readers to The Tangle, a gentle metaphor for the overwhelming emotions we all experience.
In a diverse classroom led by a compassionate teacher and her loyal dog companion, children learn to recognize their emotions and explore simple somatic strategies to find calm-like deep breathing, grounding through the senses, and playful movement. As each child shares what their Tangle feels like, the story emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the power of community.
Rooted in trauma-informed practices and social-emotional learning (SEL), The Tangle offers a developmentally appropriate, inclusive approach to self-regulation. Through thoughtful language and beautiful illustrations, it gives kids the tools they need to feel seen, heard, and supported.
Perfect for classrooms, counseling offices, and bedtime snuggles, The Tangle invites children to meet their emotions with curiosity and kindness-and to remember that they never have to face their Tangle alone.
Supplemental materials including printable lesson plans and somatic strategy cards are available at www.sageandstorycollective.com.
