Sunny and the Stormy Feeling

By Ara Sunavik

The next meltdown is coming and this book can help your child learns to weather it.
Sunny's sky is magical, it storms when Sunny storms, and clears when Sunny breathes. So when a friend's tumble topples Sunny's grandest sandcastle, the whole cove goes gray: thunder booms, rain come pouring, and one very big feeling washes away what could have been mended again

Sunny and the Stormy Feeling turns anger - 'the hardest emotion' of early childhood into something a child can see, name, and eventually learn to manage. No lectures. Your child feels the storm with Sunny and then sees it from outside, a grumpy little cloud overhead. And once a feeling has a face, the breath comes easy: in with the golden, out with the gray.

Built as a teaching tool, loved as a bedtime story:

Names the feeling: the "Stormy Feeling" gives kids language for anger before it becomes behavior
Teaches the warning signs: hot cheeks, tight fists, quick huffs of breathe for children to catch the storm building
Shows real consequences, gently: the rage washes the castle away; being calm (and a friend) rebuild it even better
Includes a practice-ready breathing technique, discussion questions, and a note for grown-ups
Perfect for SEL curriculum, calm-down corners, counselor shelves, and home for ages 3-8
Soothing rhymes + luminous underwater art made for read-alouds

Because every storm passes and every child can learn that the sun waits behind it.
