When big feelings show up all at once, they can feel a little... monstrous.
Maya knows the feeling. Blaze, the fiery Angry Monster, wants to stomp and shout. Mopey, the droopy Sad Monster, wants to hide under the covers. And Shivers, the shaky Worry Monster, can't stop thinking what if? When all three show up on the same day, Maya learns that monsters can be trained.
With simple tools she can use anywhere, Maya learns to name her feelings, take calming breaths, set boundaries, and listen to what her emotions are trying to tell her.
This social-emotional learning (SEL) picture book helps children ages 3 to 8:
- Recognize and name anger, sadness, and worry
- Use calming strategies when feelings get big
- Build self-regulation and emotional intelligence
- Feel in charge of their feelings instead of overwhelmed by them
A guided meditation at the end gives children and grown-ups a calming routine to practice together, and a QR code links to a free printable Parent Toolkit.
Written by Laura Martin Ferri, an elementary physical education and mindfulness teacher for 27 years and a former U.S. Women's National Team soccer player.
Perfect for home, classrooms, counseling sessions, and bedtime.
