Written by Katherine Joy

​​

Supporting Children with Big Feelings​

Many children need support learning how to recognise and manage big emotions.

 

Developing emotional regulation helps children feel calmer, more confident, and better able to cope with everyday challenges.

​

Solly the Rainbow Monkey and the Angry Volcano is more than a picture book — it introduces children to simple calming tools they can learn and practice when big feelings start to build.

​

As children follow Solly’s story, they are gently shown ways to slow their bodies and work through frustration and anger with support and connection.

​

Inside the Book:

• Calm-down tools children can use when big feelings begin to build
• Simple guidance showing children how each calming tool works
• A “How are you feeling?” page to help children recognise emotions
• A “When I feel angry, I can…” page where children practice coping strategies

​

Through story, children can begin to recognise their feelings and learn ways to slow their bodies, reset, and feel more in control.

​

The book can be shared at home, in early learning environments, or within therapy sessions as a supportive resource for families, educators, and therapists helping children develop emotional regulation skills.

​

Helpful for children who are learning emotional regulation, managing frustration, or working toward self-regulation goals.
