Join Billy Brodovsky and Kate Kiernan, authors of the book Big Feelings Come and Go on April 24 th at our
April Lunch and Learn presentation.
They will be reflecting on why and how they came to write the book. They will also talk about ways that
you might use the book with the children.
Big Feelings Come and Go is available in English, French, Cree, Ojibwe, Arabic, Swahili, Swedish, Finnish,
Tigrinya, Estonian, Kinyarwanda, Ukrainian, ASL, and Russian. The book is a resource to help families and
caregivers have conversations with kids about freeze, flight, and fight and learn some basic self-
regulation skills. Understanding freeze, flight, and fight can allow for new conversations about how your
child feels and what to do to help them manage their big feelings.
At www.protectchildren.ca you can download the FREE PDF of the book in all languages or order a
printed copy of Big Feelings Come and Go in English or French for $9.95 (free shipping).
