Big Problems, Little Problems by Ben Feller, Mercè López
5.0
I received a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute book with wonderful illustrations that teaches about emotional regulation. It didn’t shy away from challenging concepts (like perception) and defined things well, even for younger minds. It also teaches deep breathing and problem solving. My favorite part was having the dad become upset with a “big” problem and his son helping him to realize how he could make it a small problem. Seeing an adult use the same lesson (despite his initial reaction) is a nice touch.
