Bix's Balloons (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781960616364)

This heartfelt story about a little dog with big emotions teaches children that every emotion matters.

Bix may be small, but his feelings are anything but! As he goes about his day--facing ups and downs, making new friends, and celebrating wins--bright, colorful balloons begin to appear. Each balloon represents a different emotion Bix is feeling, from happiness and pride to sadness and worry. Some rise, some sink, some stretch or pop... but all of them are important.

As Bix learns to notice, name, and understand his emotions, children are encouraged to embrace the variety of them--and that they never have to face those feelings alone.

Young readers will love this imaginative tale and its vibrant illustrations, encouraging emotional awareness while fostering creativity and friendship. It's the perfect gift for any child learning how to understand themselves and others!
