The Little Box of Feelings

Valle keeps her emotions in a little box. Sometimes she lets them out . . .

When she’s happy her feelings float like redballoons above her head. When she’s sad her feelings gather like greyrainclouds. And when she’s jealous or angry they blow up like a wild storm.

Valle decides her emotions are out of control! So she buries them in the garden, and that’s where they stay... until Nanny comes to visit.

Drawing on her own experiences as a mother and mental health advocate, Rochelle's story encourages children to talk about their feelings.
