Max Has Big Feelings

Max’s feelings are big.
Happy feels bright and bouncy.
Sad feels heavy like a blanket.
Frustration feels hot and tight.

Sometimes his feelings burst and swirl before he understands them.

When Max learns that his brain is autistic, he begins to understand why his emotions can feel bigger and stronger than he expects. With support from his parents and teacher, Max discovers new tools to feel safe, calm, and proud of who he is.

Max Has Big Feelings is a warm, affirming picture book about autism, emotional regulation, and self-acceptance. It reminds children that big feelings are not bad they are part of being human.

Perfect for ages 4–9, families, classrooms, therapists, and neurodivergent children.
