Maya's Big Feelings is a warm and reassuring children's picture book about foster care, healing, and learning that every feeling matters.
When Maya has to stay with the Parkers while her mama gets help, her heart fills with big feelings-scared, angry, sad, confused, hopeful, and mixed-up. With the support of kind grown-ups, her stuffed rabbit, and a gentle dog named Biscuit, Maya begins to understand that it's okay to miss home, okay to ask questions, and okay not to feel okay.
Written in a child-friendly and compassionate voice, this story helps children explore difficult emotions while showing that foster care can be a bridge of safety, support, and love. Maya's Big Feelings is a comforting read for children, caregivers, foster families, social workers, counselors, and classrooms.
