Fred - little hopper for big feelings: A children's book about emotions, lightness and trusts

Sometimes, all it takes is a small moment-a picture, a sentence, a thought-to set something in motion.

This book hopes to be such a moment:

an invitation to start a conversation about feelings.

Children experience things deeply - often quietly, and often in ways that adults cannot see. When they share their worries with Fred, they learn:
"I'm allowed to feel-and I'm allowed to share what's on my mind." Fred, the little grasshopper, stands for what children need most:
a safe place for their thoughts.

When Fred hops away, he understands those feelings and takes them with him - not to hide them, but to make them feel lighter.
Across more than 30 pages, children can follow Fred on his journey. In his backpack, he carries the thoughts and emotions that sometimes just feel like too much. They discover how a simple conversation can help a new day begin with a lighter heart.
