Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when a child holds all of their feelings in all day?Marcus is good at school. He sits still, raises his hand, follows the rules, and keeps his feelings tucked away.But by the time he gets home, his emotional "drawer" is completely full.A soggy lunch. A missing eraser. A question he couldn't answer. A long, tiring day. Marcus carries all of it with him until one small thing finally pushes the drawer open.With the gentle support of his mom, Marcus begins to understand that his big reaction isn't really about one sandwich. It's about everything he held inside all day.I Held It All Day is a comforting story that helps children recognize what it can feel like to become overwhelmed after spending the day managing emotions, expectations, and everyday challenges. Through Marcus's experience, children are encouraged to talk about what happened during their day instead of carrying everything alone.The book also includes simple activities and calming tools to help children: - Identify and name their feelings- Talk about worries and frustrations- Practice deep breathing- Create a calm-down space- Express difficult feelings through writing and drawing- Find trusted people to talk toA thoughtful read for children, parents, caregivers, and teachers, I Held It All Day opens the door to an important conversation: "What got tucked down today?"Because sometimes the thing that comes out after school isn't really about what just happened.It's about everything that happened before 3:15.
