Description

Murphy Helps with Big Feelings is a gentle children’s anger book for ages 3–7. When anger and frustration feel too big, Murphy begins to understand what he is feeling and finds ways to settle.

This reassuring story gives parents and carers a way to talk with children about big emotions. As you read together, you can ask what Murphy might be feeling and explore what helps when a difficult moment begins to pass.

The story encourages children to:

• notice and name their feelings
• express anger safely
• try simple ways to calm down
• remember that big feelings do pass

Written by children’s author and retired counsellor Linda M. Cowan, this picture book is a warm starting point for conversations about anger, frustration and finding calm together.
