《Big Feeling》是一趟關於情緒的旅程。 故事跟隨一群孩子,在鄰里間一起遊玩、學習、互動,也一同經歷各種「大大的情緒」。有時候事情不如預期,會覺得生氣、挫折、甚至不知所措;有時候又會覺得充滿希望、覺得累、或者突然被激發出靈感。
這本書透過溫暖的文字與生動的插圖,陪伴孩子認識、說出並理解自己的情緒。更重要的是,它提醒我們:無論感受如何,每一種情緒都是正常的,都值得被看見和接納。而當我們願意開口表達、傾聽他人,就能學會換位思考,發現彼此雖不同卻能互相理解。
《Big Feeling》不只是一本圖畫書,它是一面溫柔的鏡子,讓孩子看到自己內心的起伏;同時也是一座橋,幫助孩子學習同理與包容。它帶來安慰,也傳遞希望:不管我們的感受有多大、有多不同,我們都不曾孤單。
I have big feelings. You have them too. How can I help? What can we do?
'[The book's] strength is the diversity on display in its pages. There's a rainbow of skin tones and hair colours ... and markers of religious and cultural diversity. Allows kids to practice identifying and dealing with their own big feelings' Kirkus Reviews
Follow a group of children through a day in their neighbourhood, as they play together and navigate the BIG feelings that we all experience.
What should we do when things don't go to plan? We may feel angry, frustrated or overwhelmed; we may feel hopeful, tired or even . . . inspired. No matter how we're feeling or how different we are, it's never too late to talk things through and learn to see the world from another point of view.
