“As a licensed mental health counselor with over 14 years of experience treating both adults and children, I recognize the profound impact this book can have on a child’s emotional growth and well-being. Through its warm storytelling and engaging illustrations, it gently guides children in understanding and expressing their emotions, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and confidence. This book goes beyond just teaching emotional regulation, it empowers children to embrace their feelings, build meaningful connections, and develop a strong sense of self through grounding and compassion. I would consider this a valuable resource for parents, educators, and therapists as it beautifully reinforces the importance of mental wellness, self-acceptance, and emotional intelligence in a way that is both accessible and impactful. This is a beautifully written and illustrated book that both helps provide a strong foundation to any child’s emotional development - a must have book for anyone responsible for contributing to the growth of another human being.”

"This book is clearly a labor of love. It reflects the author’s philosophy shaped by her training in Reiki but is also consistent with research on relaxation and meditation. The vibrant illustrations and clear writing can benefit all age ranges. Let your imagination soar!"

"As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate with extensive experience supporting the emotional and developmental needs of children and adolescents, I highly recommend this book.  How To Feel Big When You Feel Small is a thoughtfully designed resource that promotes emotional regulation, grounding, and a sense of safety for young readers.

The inclusive and engaging illustrations, paired with intentional, neurodiversity-affirming language, meet children exactly where they are.  This book adopts a strength-based approach, empowering children to build coping skills, deepen their connections with others, and navigate overwhelming emotions with confidence and resilience.

This book is an invaluable tool, not only for therapists, but for educators, parents, and any professional dedicated to supporting the emotional well-being of children, adolescents, and even adults.  How To Feel Big When You Feel Small is truly one of a kind in its narrative, accessibility, and inclusivity.  It is a must-have for anyone invested in fostering emotional growth and psychological safety,"
