When My Feelings Feel Big: A song for big feelings

By Amanda Aljets

When Feelings Feel Big: A Song for Big Feelings is a soothing, interactive picture book designed to help children and caregivers navigate emotions together through song, rhythm, and shared connection.

Written as a gentle read-along song, this story supports emotional awareness and regulation by encouraging children to name their feelings, slow their bodies, and feel supported by a trusted adult. With calming repetition and simple language, the book invites families to sing, read, or softly speak the words together during everyday moments - whether feelings are joyful, overwhelming, or somewhere in between.

Rather than focusing on fixing emotions, this book emphasizes presence, understanding, and connection. Caregivers are guided to respond calmly and consistently, helping children feel safe, seen, and accepted as they experience a wide range of emotions. The interactive format makes the book easy to return to again and again, reinforcing emotional skills through familiarity and routine.

When Feelings Feel Big is well suited for home use as well as early childhood education settings, including daycares, preschools, classrooms, counseling offices, and therapy environments. Its gentle approach aligns with social-emotional learning (SEL) principles and supports healthy emotional development during the early years.

This book is an ideal resource for parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals seeking meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways to support children through big emotions while strengthening connection and communication.
