Overview
The Big Bright Feelings Collection brings together eight beloved picture books by Tom Percival, each one built around a big emotion that every child eventually meets: worry, jealousy, anger, loneliness, fibbing, and disappointment. Told with warmth, gentle humor, and Percival's signature bright illustrations, these stories give young readers relatable characters and simple, honest language for talking about feelings out loud instead of bottling them up. Perfect for story time, classroom libraries, or a child's own bookshelf, this eight-book paperback set makes an ideal gift for a birthday, holiday, or new-sibling milestone.
About the Books
Each title in the Big Bright Feelings Collection follows a single child character through one everyday emotional challenge, using clear, age-appropriate language and expressive, colorful artwork. In Tilda Tries Again, a happy routine is suddenly turned upside down, and Tilda has to find the courage to try once more. Perfectly Norman follows a boy who grows a surprising pair of wings and must decide whether to hide them or let them show. Ruby's Worry gives shape to anxiety as a small cloud that grows bigger the longer it is kept secret, until Ruby learns that sharing helps. Meesha Makes Friends looks at the very real difficulty some children face when it comes to making friends, even when they are good at almost everything else. Ravi's Roar channels big anger into the image of a tiger that Ravi lets loose when he can no longer hold his temper in. Milo's Monster explores the prickly feelings of jealousy that appear when a new neighbor starts spending time with Milo's best friend. Finn's Little Fibs shows how one small lie, told after an accident with grandma's clock, can spiral and grow if it isn't corrected. Bea's Bad Day follows an excited birthday girl through a day that doesn't go according to plan, and how she finds her way back to happiness. Together, the eight stories form a warm, practical toolkit for naming feelings, building empathy, and having honest conversations at home or in the classroom.
