This book conveys the message that by relaxing and doing some special breathing and self hugs, negative feelings begin to melt away, leaving room for a positive self image. The Power of Piggie Bear is a gift for those who want to help children learn how to get through challenging times.

It can often be a challenge for children to find the right words to express what is going on inside. Hearing Piggie Bear express these feelings makes it relatable. The Power of Piggie Bear is a wonderful, heartfelt approach to giving children tools for dealing with their feelings and developing self-acceptance.

Mara James has taken a key principle of developmental psychology and turned it into an easily digestible and entertaining story for young children. Piggie Bear provides a model for young children to begin naming and coping with difficult emotions, central ingredients of mental health. Until they learn to show themselves self-compassion, Piggie Bear can do it for them.

This is such a cute and meaningful book. If we can get books like this in children’s hands at a younger age, it can help them deal with their feelings in their later years.
