New Children’s Book The Tear Box Helps Kids Navigate Big Feelings
WEST CHESTER, PA. — Mascot Books is pleased to announce the release of The Tear Box, by Sheila Startup, with illustrations by Sheridan Turton.
When little Catherine’s emotions overwhelm her, she puts them in a special box Grandma gave her. But the box keeps growing . . . and growing . . . and growing–until Catherine doesn’t know what to do! Will Catherine be able to overcome this out-of-control box?
A gentle story that understands the roller coaster of emotions children experience, The Tear Box communicates a safe way to process feelings without pushing them down.
Startup was inspired to write The Tear Box after struggling with anxiety and panic since she was a child.
“I am hoping to help children not to fear their anxious thoughts and emotions but instead to feel them, recognize them and let them morph and change,” Startup said.
Startup wrote this book as an expression of her passion for helping children cope with their emotions. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband Mike, daughter Catherine, dog Zemo, and Flynn the cat. She enjoys painting, reading, yoga, and meditation. The Tear Box is her first book.
The Tear Box (ISBN: 978-1-63755-994-9) will be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble on March 4, 2024. The book is distributed by APG, Ingram, the American Wholesale Book Company, Baker & Taylor, and Follett Library Resources.
