Mad Max Feels His Feelings
Written with empathy, insight, and a heart for every child learning how to be with big emotions.
Mad Max doesn't always know what he's feeling-
but he does know that when his block tower crashes or the pool is unexpectedly closed, something stirs in his body:
a hot balloon in his chest, a heavy rock in his belly.
In this gentle and empowering story, Max learns that feelings don't just live in your heart or your head-they show up in your body first.
With the help of his twin sister Jovi and a simple body chart she learned from her school counselor, Max discovers how to listen to what his body is saying...
and how feeling his feelings can help them pass through like clouds in the sky.
This book helps children:
Understand the link between physical sensations and emotions
Practice naming and observing feelings without shame
Learn simple tools to stay grounded and calm during big emotional waves
Mad Max Feels His Feelings is a beautiful resource for neurodivergent children, highly sensitive kids, and any family wanting to nurture emotional awareness, compassion, and peace from the inside out.
