Milo and the Big Big Feelings

A beautiful children's book about emotional regulation, gentle parenting, and how to support big feelings with love.

Milo is a little fox with very big feelings.

When he's mad, he roars. When he's sad, he hides. When bedtime comes, he wants nothing to do with it. But Milo's caregivers don't punish, yell, or send him away; they stay close, name his emotions, and help him feel safe through every storm.

Milo and the Big, Big Feelings is a tender, illustrated story for children ages 3-6 that helps kids understand and accept their emotions - while subtly guiding parents toward gentle, respectful parenting techniques.

This story models:

• Emotion coaching during tantrums and meltdowns

• How to co-regulate with a child instead of punish

• Building emotional intelligence and secure attachment

• What calm, empathetic parenting looks like in real-life situations

• Parents seeking books for toddlers with big emotions

• Families practicing gentle parenting or positive discipline

• Kids struggling with meltdowns, anger, or anxiety

• Teachers and therapists looking for read-aloud stories on feelings

Includes a caregiver note at the end with calming phrases and everyday tools to respond with empathy instead of control.

Because children don't need to be fixed, they need to be felt.
