The cute illustrated book helps little readers understand and process their feelings in a fun and loving way. Piggie Bear helps little ones recognize their feelings and how to use words to express themselves. The book includes self-calming exercises that they can utilize. I thought the book was a cute and fun read along with being an important resource for little ones. The book will help enable young children to put their feelings into words and help them process their feelings.

Extraordinary Lives Foundation Founder and CEO Mara James releases her debut children’s picture book to promote Mental Health Awareness and Wellness!
Do you ever feel sad, lonely, or worried? What about
angry, or scared? These feelings can be hard to fell, can't they? It would be
much easier to just feel happy all the time! But everyone feels these ways
sometimes, and it's nothing to be scared or worried about. As long as you know
helpful ways to handle your feelings, everything will be OK! And that is what
Piggie Bear is for! Piggie Bear shows children everywhere just how amazing they
are, each and everyone. And Piggie Bear also shows children different
techniques they can use to work through emotions that are hard to feel and
understand. The Power of Piggie Bear is an important emotional tool, created
for young children to learn how to identify, process, and manage their own
feelings in a healthy way.
