Daisy and Her Big Feelings By: Courtney Brink
Daisy is excited for recess — until she’s left out of a game. Suddenly, big feelings take over: sadness, anger, worry, and confusion swirl inside her body.
With the gentle guidance of Grandma Rosie, Daisy learns that big feelings aren’t bad — they’re messages. Through simple, child-friendly tools like breathing, humming, movement, empathy, and boundaries, Daisy discovers how to listen to her body, calm herself, and find the courage to try again.
This tender, beautifully illustrated story helps children:
- Understand and name big emotions
- Notice how feelings show up in their bodies
- Learn simple calming tools they can use anytime
- Practice empathy while honoring their own needs
- Build confidence, self-regulation, and emotional awareness
Perfect for sensitive children, big feelers, and the grown-ups who support them, Daisy and Her Big Feelings offers reassurance that feelings matter — and that the tools to handle them live inside us all along.
✨ Includes a Parent & Teacher Note and discussion prompts to support meaningful conversations at home and in the classroom.
