Addy’s Summer Adventure

"Addy's Summer Adventure: A Story of BIG and Small Feelings" is thoughtfully written by the authors of "Your Feelings Matter: A Story for Children Who Have Witnessed Domestic Violence". In that book, Tiffany and Amber normalized emotional responses, encouraged healthy conversations, and empowered children to overcome feelings regarding domestic violence. This inspired them to continue their vision: an ongoing message around the normalization of feelings.

In life, humans experience a lot of emotions that can be challenging to decipher. These emotions are largely impacted by personal experiences, culture, current environment, and traumatic experiences.Tiffany and Amber recognize the importance of an appropriate expression of self and have carefully incorporated a later version of the "Emotion Wheel" (originally developed by the late Robert Plutchik) to help visually group feelings. Emotions (happy, sad, angry, fearful, bad, and surprised) are represented by corresponding colors throughout the story.

With "Addy's Summer Adventure: A Story of BIG and Small Feelings", Tiffany and Amber hope to help adults assist children with increasing their feelings vocabulary. By doing so, children are given a voice becoming more emotionally intelligent, self-compassionate, and resilient.
