Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In these picture books from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel their emotions and discover how to manage their feelings in a healthy way.
Sad is a feeling that can be hard, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Sad, kids discover that it’s okay to be sad and that God is in all things, including sadness.
Scared is a feeling that can be overwhelming to face, but if we pay attention to it and ask God for help, we can learn things about ourselves and grow less frightened. In God, I Feel Scared, children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is right here with us no matter what emotion we're dealing with.
With simple, accessible text, sad and scared become emotions that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.
