My BIG Feelings by Erica La’Shun, Christian Robert

Why write?! Here is some important stuff: There is this guy Jean Piaget. “He was a Swiss psychologist and genetic epistemologist. He is most famously known for his theory of cognitive development that looked at how children develop intellectually throughout the course of childhood. Piaget believed that children take an active role in the learning process, acting much like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world. As kids interact with the world around them, they continually add new knowledge….So here is to freedom of expression and sorting through the BIG and small feelings! P.S. There is no right way to journal….it’s even ok to ask for help . (Draw it…Trace it…Color it…Write it)

In this mother daughter duo, Ebony’s mother helps her to understand that her hair is meant to be big and wild, and she should wear it with pride. This book is a reminder that social conditioning starts when you are young and follows you into your adult years. When children are able see themselves represented as the main characters in books and television shows, the experience can boost self-esteem and self-worth. Lack of representation can be harmful to a child and can impact their self-image and how they interact with others. A positive self-image can boost our mental, social, and emotional well-being.
