Kids Emotional Lexicon | Visual Dictionary of Feelings for Children
Big feelings don’t come with instructions.
This book gives them words instead.
The Kids Lexicon is a collection of simple, powerful language to help children understand what they’re feeling — without shame, confusion, or needing to “fix it.”
From heart-grit to storm-still, each word becomes something they can hold onto when everything feels too big.
For kids.
For homes.
For anywhere feelings don’t stay small.
Because when a feeling has a name,
it becomes easier to carry.
