ALS Big Feelings In Little Hearts: A Gentle Book To Help Children Understand ALS (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244305906)

Big Feelings in Little Hearts: A Gentle Book to Help Children Understand ALS is a compassionate children's book created to support young readers as they navigate big emotions, body changes, and questions they may not yet have words for.

Through the story of Lauren and her best friend Tommy, children are gently guided through moments of confusion, worry, courage, and love as Lauren notices her body feels different than before. With support from family, friends, and trusted adults, Lauren learns that she did nothing wrong-and that it's okay to speak up when something doesn't feel right.

This book introduces ALS in calm, age-appropriate language, explaining that it affects how messages travel inside the body while reassuring children that:

• ALS is not caused by anything they did

• Their feelings are valid

• They are safe, loved, and never alone

Big Feelings in Little Hearts also includes reflection prompts and gentle activity pages designed to help children:

• Identify and express emotions

• Feel comforted and supported

• Build emotional awareness and confidence

• Understand that big feelings belong

Part of the No Judgement Zone - Let It Out series, this book was created to support children, families, caregivers, educators, and medical professionals in having honest, supportive conversations during times of illness or change.

A thoughtful resource for homes, hospitals, classrooms, and therapy settings, Big Feelings in Little Hearts offers reassurance, understanding, and hope-one gentle page at a time.
