When Naomi Feels Left Out

By Johanna Sparrow

Naomi notices something painful one afternoon - the feeling of being left out.

When friends laugh together without her and plans happen without an invitation, Naomi begins to wonder what she did wrong. But feelings of exclusion can happen to anyone, and understanding those emotions can help children grow stronger and more compassionate.

In When Naomi Feels Left Out, young readers walk alongside Naomi as she learns to recognize her feelings, express them in healthy ways, and discover that her worth is not defined by a single moment.

Part of the Big Feelings, Growing Hearts series, this story gently helps children explore emotions, friendship, and self-confidence while encouraging thoughtful conversations between children, parents, and educators.
