Sometimes, Excitement bubbles up faster than you can keep up...
The Time I Got Very Excited is a joyful and thoughtful picture book that helps children recognize, understand, and gently manage their big excited feelings. When Esther’s birthday weekend begins, Flutter - her Excitement - zips and zooms beside her. But as the party fun builds, so does the energy inside.
With caring support and small acts of kindness, Esther learns that excitement doesn’t have to take over - it can be shared, slowed down, and savored.
This delightful follow-up to The Time I Got Really Sad continues the Brave to Feel series, helping kids ages 4-8 build emotional awareness, develop self-regulation skills, and understand how excitement, like all feelings, can be navigated with empathy.
