I've been noticing some really good picture books that are focusing on emotions and children's feelings in No Biggy!: A Story about Overcoming Everyday Obstacles by Elycia Rubin is a helpful picture book for kids that will teach them that when they feel frustrated about something little, it's "no biggy."
Summary: Getting frustrated is a part of life! And, whether Kiki is working on squeezing toothpaste right onto her toothbrush, getting the zipper to slide aelll the way up her jacket, or spreading cream cheese on a bagel, she learns that taking a deep breath, saying “no biggy!” and trying again helps manage frustration.
"Lots of things make me feel frustrated too. Frustrated is a big word I learned from my mommy and daddy."
Age Range: 4-8
This is one of those picture books with a great lesson, with the lesson being not to get frustrated over little things. The illustrations are cute and the message is simple enough for kids to understand. I like how it points out that everyone gets frustrated, not just Kiki and not just kids. I think these types of picture books are really important to share with kids and has that learning element that I encourage to see in more picture books.
