Every child feels big things. Sometimes those feelings are sunny and warm. Sometimes they arrive like a storm — fast, loud, and hard to understand. Little Roots, Big Feelings gives children the words, tools, and safe space to understand what's happening inside them, and the confidence to know they can weather any feeling that comes.
Written by clinical hypnotherapist and children's wellbeing advocate Alysia May, Little Roots, Big Feelings introduces young readers to three gentle, powerful frameworks designed to make emotional literacy feel natural, not clinical:
The Feelings Weather Report™ — helping children name and describe their emotions the same way they'd describe the weather outside, making even the biggest feelings feel manageable and safe to talk about.
The Calm Spot™ — a personal, portable place children can return to whenever they feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure, grounding them in a sense of inner safety they carry everywhere.
The Brave Shield™ — a tool for building courage and resilience from the inside out, reminding children that they are stronger than their hardest feelings.
Warm, accessible, and beautifully grounded in over twenty years of clinical experience working with children and families, this book is a resource for the whole family — something children and caregivers can read and return to together, building an emotional language that lasts a lifetime.
Little Roots, Big Feelings is for children navigating anxiety, big emotions, family change, friendship challenges, and the everyday uncertainty of growing up — and for the parents, teachers, and carers who want to help them thrive.
Because when children know how to tend their roots, they grow strong enough to face any storm.
