A sweet story about BIG feelings that encourages children to use their words to name their emotions when feelings become overwhelming.

Willow is an adorable little sister--most of the time. Sometimes, her feelings get to be just a bit too much, and WAAAHHH!!--a tantrum ensues. But with a lot of love, support, and patience from her older brother, Willow soon learns that she has a superpower to help deal with those big feelings: her words!
Perry Emerson lives in London with his partner and their much-too-fluffy cat. He mostly edits picture books, but occasionally dabbles in writing them, too. When he's not thinking about words, he enjoys spending time in the kitchen cooking and, more importantly, eating.

A Derbyshire lad born and bred, Sean Julian studied at the Mansfield College of Art and then moved to Bristol to study illustration. He still lives in Bristol with his girlfriend, two goldfish, a love of cake, and a dream to one day get some chickens, too.
Perry Emerson's Big, Big Feelings (9781664300347, $18.99) enjoys whimsical illustrations by Sean Julian as it tells of little sister Willow, who sometimes just can't help crying as her feelings become too big and bring on a tantrum. Family love and patience needs to come from all angles, from understanding parents to an older brother's patience, so that Willow can get a handle on feelings that sometimes feel just too big to hold in. Read-aloud parents will find much to appreciate in Willow's education about her emotions and the reactions of those of all ages around her. --Midwest Book Review--Children's Bookwatch
