The Boy with Big, Big Feelings thinks he is all alone in feeling big emotions that can overwhelm him. But we all know he's not alone - we've all felt like our emotions are too big for us to handle.

Today's Moody Story Time focuses on small ways to help cope when we are angry and frustrated. So many things that happen during the day can make us grumpy and maybe a little forgetful of other's feelings.
