Big Emotions, Small Problems is a heartfelt early chapter book series that follows three girls - Mia, Jade, and Layla - as they navigate the highs and lows of growing up into themselves. From birthday parties to secret whispers, from classroom drama to misunderstood moments, every book in this series shows what it's like to see the same situation through three very different sets of eyes.
Told in rotating points of view, each story unpacks a single event from Mia, Jade, and Layla's unique perspectives - helping readers understand empathy, emotional honesty, and how what we
feel doesn't always match what we
say. Perfect for readers ages
7-10 and
Level 3 chapter book learners, this series gently guides young minds through the realities of modern friendships: inclusion, exclusion, jealousy, communication, forgiveness, and figuring out who you are - and who you want to be.
