Milo loves spending time with his best friend, Jay. But when a new friendship begins to take shape, Milo starts to feel left out. As his jealousy grows, it becomes harder to see clearly, turning small worries into bigger ones and making him question the friendship he values most.

Part of the Big Bright Feelings series, this thoughtful story helps children recognize jealousy as a normal emotion while showing how honesty, empathy, and communication can help friendships grow stronger.

Why we love it:
💚 Helps children identify and understand feelings of jealousy
🤝 Encourages healthy communication and friendship repair
🌱 Shows that difficult emotions can be managed without defining our actions

The Big Bright Feelings picture book series provides kid-friendly entry points into emotional intelligence topics-from being true to yourself to dealing with worries, managing anger, and making friends. These topics can be difficult to talk about. But these books act as sensitive and reassuring springboards for conversations about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence, and managing feelings.
