About this Item
Paperback. Does your child ever struggle to put words to what they are feeling? They are not alone, and this warm, playful picture book is here to help. Meet Ziggy, a zany little zebra with the most expressive face on the whole savanna. From the moment Ziggy wakes up, the feelings come fast and all at once: wiggly excitement, quiet worry, fizzy joy, and everything in between. As Ziggy bounces through the day, each animal friend, including the gentle Gogo, the curious Pip, the speedy Duma, and the loyal Biscuit, notices something different written across Ziggy's face. Together, they help Ziggy find the right words for every feeling hiding there. By the time the sun dips below the savanna horizon, Ziggy has discovered something wonderful: every feeling has its own face, and every face has an important story worth telling. This book was written to give children ages 4 to 8 a safe, joyful way to explore emotional self-awareness. When children can recognize and name what they feel, they gain a superpower that helps them in friendships, in school, and at home. Research in social-emotional learning consistently shows that naming emotions is one of the first and most powerful steps toward emotional regulation and resilience.
