But with a lot of love, support, and patience from her older brother, Willow soon learns that she has a superpower to help deal with those big feelings: her words!Perry Emerson's Big, Big Feelings (9781664300347, $18.99) enjoys whimsical illustrations by Sean Julian as it tells of little sister Willow, who sometimes just can't help crying as her feelings become too big and bring on a tantrum. Family love and patience needs to come from all angles, from understanding parents to an older brother's patience, so that Willow can get a handle on feelings that sometimes feel just too big to hold in.

He mostly edits picture books, but occasionally dabbles in writing them, too. When he's not thinking about words, he enjoys spending time in the kitchen cooking and, more importantly, eating.
