Bedtime stories about big feelings

These themes give a name to a feeling your child has had: anger that needs calming down, jealousy, the wobble of a goodbye at the school gate, or feeling different from everyone else. The hero in the story feels it too, and finds a way through.

For young children, a fantasy theme like a garden where emotions bloom as flowers turns feelings into something they can picture. Older children get real-world themes about not giving up, asking for help and handling a situation that is unfair.
