Big Hid (Paperback)

Big Hid (Paperback)

A clever way into sadness that doesn’t rush to explain it or fix it. Little desperately wants Big to feel better, but Big isn’t ready. That’s a pretty useful thing for children to see.

A little more about this book

Big and Little do everything together until one day Big retreats into his shell. Little tries cake, friends and all sorts of ways to coax him out, but nothing works. Eventually, Big comes out in his own time, and what helps is simply having his friend there.

Helpful when

Talking about sadness, withdrawal, friendship, supporting someone who’s feeling low, or helping children understand that they can’t always make another person’s difficult feelings disappear.

How to use at home

Ask what Little tried and whether Big was ready for those things. It’s a nice opening for talking about the different ways we can be there for someone without demanding that they cheer up.

Recommended age

Early years (2-4 years) en Preschool (4-6 years)

How we found it

A little book about a big feeling, without trying to solve sadness in five easy steps. That was enough for us.
