When big feelings need simple words, a quiet conversation is often the best place to start.
When a young boy notices his friend is still navigating the quiet sadness of losing a beloved pet, he turns to his mother with the kind of honest questions only a child can ask. Through their gentle exchange, When a Friend Has Big Feelings explores the architecture of grief, empathy, and the complex emotions children cannot yet fully name.
Part of the Caring Heart Series, this beautifully illustrated book has a thoughtful, minimalist approach to emotional literacy. It is a gentle guide for parents and grown-ups looking for the right words to explain about the things we often leave unspoken.
This story supports:
- Emotional Literacy: Finding simple words for complex feelings.
- Empathy & Compassion: Learning the art of holding space for a friend in sadness.
- Supportive Parenting: Navigating honest, age-appropriate conversations about loss.
- Validation: Normalising the expressed feelings
A resource for children aged 7+, parents, and the grown-ups who walk beside them through life's brave questions.
