About Big Feelings, Calm Choices

Big feelings. Calm choices.

Big Feelings, Calm Choices: Stop, Breathe, Think, Choose! by James Lee introduces children ages 4–8 to a simple routine: Stop. Breathe. Think. Choose.

Share the story at home, in a classroom, or during a library read-aloud. Invite children to name their feelings, pause, and talk with a trusted grown-up about safe, helpful choices.

Companion activities offer more ways to practice through coloring, drawing, and conversation.
