The Bigs Brothers: The Blame Game

By Teresa Carlson and Dave Carlson

Bigs Brothers: The Blame Game is a playful, rhyming picture book that helps children learn responsibility, accountability, and emotional regulation in a safe, gentle, and genuinely fun way. When Big Foot wakes up hungry, stubs his toe, and starts blaming everyone around him, parents and teachers will instantly recognize the familiar "it's not my fault" spiral. As Big Foot bounces from brother to brother-Big Eyes, Big Hands, Big Mouth, Big Nose, and finally Big Ears-young readers see how blame spreads through a family, and why it never actually solves the problem.

Set in a warm, relatable home, this social-emotional learning (SEL) story gives adults an easy, age-appropriate way to talk about cause and effect, choices, empathy, apologies, and forgiveness. Big Ears' calm guidance and Big Foot's sincere apology model growth without lectures or shame. Ideal for classrooms, school counselors, therapy offices, and bedtime reading, The Blame Game supports character education and growth mindset-helping kids own mistakes and make things right, together.
