Tootie's Big Feelings

Every feeling has a name, and naming it is the first step toward calm.

About This Book

Tootie's Big Feelings follows one lovable day when Tootie notices many feelings—excitement, frustration, worry, and joy. With simple language and warm illustrations, the story shows children that feelings are not mistakes to hide. They are signals to notice, name, and share with a trusted grown-up.
