A peek inside

How the adventure unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

The storm inside drawn as weather over a small figure standing very still in a room.

Chapter One

A Storm Inside

Some days your child's feelings swirled like a storm - big and loud and hard to hold.

The storm inside drawn as weather over a small figure standing very still in a room.

The breath being taken, shoulders dropping, the weather already thinning at the edges.

Chapter Two

Breathe Like the Sea

Your child breathed in slow and out long, like waves rolling gently onto the shore.

The breath being taken, shoulders dropping, the weather already thinning at the edges.

Chapter Three

Calm Again

Little by little the storm settled, and your child felt calm and warm and perfectly okay.

Calm again, sitting on the floor with the room the right size once more.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.

Is this the one?

Who When I Feel Big Feelings is for

When I Feel Big Feelings is bought after a hard fortnight. It names what is happening in the body first, gives one thing to do about it, and ends calm without saying the feeling was wrong. Therapists and nursery staff recommend this shape; parents usually find it after trying to reason a child out of a meltdown and failing.

Two to eight, which is wide because the storm arrives at different ages. A three-year-old needs the breathing to be shown. A seven-year-old needs the last chapter, where the feeling passes on its own without anybody fixing it. Reading level chosen at setup.

For Amit, whose feelings are big because everything else about him is too.

Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

What age is When I Feel Big Feelings for?

When I Feel Big Feelings is written for ages 2-8. The story is generated at the reading level you pick during setup, so the same book works at the younger or older end of that range.

How is When I Feel Big Feelings personalized?

You upload one photo of your child. That photo becomes the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and stays recognizable across all 12 chapters. Their name, age and a dedication are woven in too.

How long is the book, and what formats are there?

Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
