"Feelings, feelings, they aren't bad. Happy, angry, even sad."
Set My Feelings Free is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps children understand and manage their big emotions through engaging rhymes, playful movement, and scientifically backed self-regulation techniques. Inspired by the latest research in child development, this book provides young readers and their caregivers with simple, yet powerful tools--breathing exercises, grounding techniques, visualization, and movement--to work through emotions like anger, frustration, fear, and disappointment. Each verse introduces a different feeling, offering a gentle and empowering way to process it.
The book also serves as a practical resource for parents, teachers, and therapists, featuring an insightful authors' note that explains the neuroscience behind each technique. By normalizing emotional expression and equipping children with calming strategies, Set My Feelings Free fosters emotional intelligence and resilience in young readers. Whether read aloud at bedtime, used in the classroom, or integrated into therapy sessions, this book is a must-have for anyone guiding children through the ups and downs of growing up. Written intentionally to be sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," this picture book can also serve as a mnemonic device to remember the techniques and methods of coping with big feelings in the midst of a meltdown.
