Teddy’s Big Feelings

A fallen tower. A disappointed little bear. Feelings that are suddenly much too big.

Teddy is building the tallest tower ever for his little bear. But when the blocks come crashing down, his tummy tightens, his cheeks grow hot—and he pushes a block away.

Mama stays close. She helps Teddy understand that all his feelings are welcome, while gently showing him that pushing blocks can hurt. Together, they practise taking a slow breath, asking for help and starting again.

Later, tucked beneath his starry blanket, Teddy discovers something worth remembering: he can be brave and still feel cross.

Teddy’s Big Feelings gives parents, grandparents, caregivers and teachers a comforting starting point for conversations about:

• Naming feelings without shame.
• Setting gentle, clear limits on behaviour.
• Taking a calming breath.
• Asking for help when something feels difficult.
• Trying again with someone beside you.

With cosy illustrations and reassuring words, this story invites children to hear a message they can carry with them:

“It’s okay to feel. You’re still brilliant just as you are.”
