Tag Feels Excited: A Children's Book About Excitement, Big Feelings, and Emotional Skills (Social Emotional Learning for Kids) (The Shape Squad Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781919532837)

What if excitement gets so big that it turns into losing control?

Meet Tag, a bright yellow star who loves to twinkle and shine. When his friends arrive to play, a fizzy feeling fills his tummy and his whole body starts to zoom.

Tag spins.
He whizzes.
He forgets to listen.

His excitement gets bigger and bigger - until CRASH! Everything goes wrong.

With gentle help from the Shape Squad, Tag learns a simple calming strategy called the Star Breath. By tracing his star and breathing slowly, his body becomes still, his mind becomes clear, and he is ready to make things right.

Tag Feels Excited is a playful Social Emotional Learning story that helps children understand energetic feelings and learn how to pause, focus, and listen.

As children follow Tag's journey, they also naturally absorb early learning concepts including shapes, colours, counting, and movement - woven into the story so learning happens without pressure.
