There’s something truly touching and healing in the book Fanni’s Big Feelings. I
was like Fanni - a child with big feelings. When I read this book, the young child in me feels heard and seen. I am so grateful for that.

These books are hands down amazing! This is a learning experience for both parents and children.

Soft and warm. That’s how I felt after reading this book.

Cute illustrations, wonderful characters, plenty of useful information and practical
tips also for adults.

When I first saw the books, I immediately knew that my kids would fall in love with
them. And that’s exactly what happened. After we read the first one, they quickly
wanted to read the rest.

I was immediately interested when I heard about these books. I was doubtful if my
kids would be interested though. But I thought to give it a try and ordered three of
the books. We have read the first one now and today they asked for more Fanni for a
bedtime story.

The books have beautiful illustrations and versatile exercises to improve emotional
processing skills. I especially liked how the books represent different kinds of families.

We are so lucky that there are these kind of perfect picture books these days with an
important message, information for parents/professionals, and even exercises at the end! I have read the book both in the
role of a parent and as an educator and in both situations it has been very well received.

These books discuss even powerful emotional experiences in a humane, gentle, and non-judgemental way that make it easy for children to understand. The animal characters in the books are relatable with their witty comments. We had some really
good conversations with my kids after reading these books. I highly recommend
these for every family.

My firstborn is just like Fanni: empathic and social with big emotions. After having had
a night of big feelings, my child brought me the book Fanni’s Big Feelings last night and
asked to read it at bedtime “because I feel weird right now and I want to get that lump
out.” An amazing thing for a 7-year-old to recognize!
