The Monsters Inside of Me: A Kid's Guide to Big Feelings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985335743)

The Monsters Inside of Me: A Kid's Guide to Big Feelings is a heartwarming and empowering picture book that helps children understand, name, and manage their emotions through the imaginative concept of "Mind Monsters."

Siblings Palmer and Scarlett enjoy their healthy "Nature Food" lunches-until teasing at school leaves Palmer feeling embarrassed. As the day unfolds, the kids face a series of challenging emotions, each embodied by a different Mind Monster: the Left-Out Monster, the Jealous Monster, the Worry Monster, and the Angry Monster. With encouragement from one another and guidance from their parents, they learn to face these monsters with courage, kindness, and self-awareness.

From playground exclusion to gym class anxiety, Palmer and Scarlett show readers that big feelings are normal-but they don't have to control us. As each Mind Monster is named, confronted, and gently dismissed, children are shown how to take ownership of their emotions through affirmations, breathing, gratitude, and acts of inclusion.

The story concludes with a practical, interactive guide for parents and children to explore their own "monsters" together through creative, hands-on activities designed to build emotional resilience.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and counselors, The Monsters Inside of Me is a timely resource that promotes empathy, emotional intelligence, and confidence-reminding children that no feeling is too big to handle when you have the right tools and support.
