Bear and Bee

Big Emotions

Big feelings are easier with a friend.

Bear has feelings that feel far too big for one bear. Luckily, Bee is right there. A sweet watercolour story about naming what you feel, sitting with it, and discovering that the very best friends help you carry the heavy ones.

Big feelings, little readers

A feeling with a name is easier to hold.

Bear feels everything at full volume. Bee helps him find the word for it — and that's the whole trick. Read it together, then stop on a page and ask which one showed up today.
  • Happy

    Fizzy. Bouncy. Hard to sit still.

  • Sad

    Heavy and quiet. Wants a hug.

  • Angry

    Hot and loud. Needs a big breath.

  • Scared

    Small and shaky. Wants a hand to hold.

  • Excited

    Like a shaken-up bottle of soda.

  • Calm

    Slow and soft. Everything fits again.

No feeling is too big when somebody sits with you while you have it.
