The Day My Feelings Got Too Big

Scratchy socks. One missing blue crayon. And a pocket that nobody can see.

A funny, reassuring story about the little things that build up, the enormous feelings that follow, and what it means to have someone who understands.

For the grown-ups

A book about understanding, not fixing.

Sometimes a child shouts. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes everything goes very quiet. The invisible pocket gives children a way to notice what may be building inside.

What ages is the book for?

Designed for Reception and Year 1, generally ages four to six. It can be shared aloud regardless of reading confidence.

Does my child need an ADHD diagnosis?

No. This is an emotional-literacy story, not a diagnostic tool. It can be enjoyed by children with and without identified additional needs.

Can I choose family and classroom names?

Yes, the prototype changes the text. The final purchasing system must transfer those details securely to the paid book.
