For highly sensitive kids who feel BIG feelings! Hi! I'm Charlie.
In my mind and in my body, all my emotions fight to take up as much space as they can.

For highly sensitive kids who feel BIG feelings! Hi! I'm Charlie. In my mind and in my body, all my emotions fight to take up as much space as they can. I like to picture my feelings as balloons. Sometimes they're so light they float away. Other times, they're so heavy it's like they're filled with water… For highly sensitive kids and the parents, teachers, and families who love them. Charlie's experience is relatable to all children who feel big emotions, from joy to fear and everything in between. Their story shows that not only is it fine to be highly sensitive, it is in fact a great strength. Key Selling Points:
• Inspired by the author's own experiences as a highly sensitive person and raising a child who shares this same quality with her.
• The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is a term that has recently been coined as a type of 'neurodiversity'
• Can be used as a resource for those parenting highly sensitive children and can help combat the negative stigma surrounding it
• Beautifully illustrates that high sensitivity should be considered a super power!
• Children can easily understand the metaphor of the balloon that becomes too heavy (sad/angry) or light and flies away (joy/fun) to identify and communicate their emotions.
• There is a need for literature on high sensitivity for parents, educators, and loved ones to help children effectively express their emotions
