Description
Big Feelings is more than another vocabulary lesson on feeling words. This is an interactive tool designed to facilitate social emotional learning and the development of empathy. It is an interactive story containing familiar scenarios that children encounter and react to every day.
This book helps children and the adults who love them learn that each of us may have different feelings about the same experience and that those experiences can change over time and in different contexts. With the help of emoti-snails, parents and children can discover and learn more about themselves and each other.
Written by a mother and infant mental health provider, this book skillfully narrates a child's world and helps them to understand and describe the way they feel about it.
The book includes 18 double-sided magnetic emotisnails created by Nel Wittmann that depict different emotions through their expressions, body language and color on side, and diverse children expressing the same emotions with ASL on the other side. ASL emotikids were designed and illustrated by Stephanie Vallejo (Miss V.). Emotions include: proud, embarrassed, loved, left out/hurt, worried, brave, mad, happy, cranky, sad, surprised, scared, disappointed, uncomfortable, excited, jealous, shy, and silly.
