Description
We invite you into this charming picture book about a single dad (a rarity in the picture book world) and his little boy, who turns out to be very wise. From their secret handshake to their mutual problem-solving, this father and son have winning ways.
Written with lessons that apply to any family with young children, the book is distinctively told from a father's perspective, and built on how a son and dad listen to and learn from each other. This is a tale of how to conquer frustration no matter what the problem.
Advance Praise
Big Problems, Little Problems seamlessly weaves 'big' topics -- perspective, frustration, patience -- into a charming narrative that highlights the magical bond between father and son. It's a sweet and lovely read that helps children sort out what matters and what doesn't -- and will likely have kids and dads around the country coming up with their own secret handshakes!--Savannah Guthrie, Co-Anchor of the TODAY morning show and Co-Author of "Princesses Wear Pants" and "Princesses Save the World."
Big Problems, Little Problems illuminates one of the sublime joys of parenting: when our kids help us better understand the lessons we are so intent on teaching them. This fun - and fun-to-read - book about perspective and perseverance is a bedtime favorite at our house.--Josh Earnest, Chief Communications Officer at United Airlines and former White House Press Secretary for President Barack Obama
When we raise our children right, we learn more about life than we can possibly teach our kids. Big Problems, Little Problems is a heartwarming tale about a father and son who conquer life's frustrations together with perspective and patience.--Ron Fournier, Detroit communications consultant and author of "Love That Boy: What Two Presidents, Eight Road Trips, and My Son Taught Me About a Parent's Expectations.
Where was Ben Feller when I was raising little kids?! We could have used his warm and lovingly-delivered lessons on patience, perspective, and the difference between big and little problems.--Jim Axelrod, Senior National Correspondent for CBS News and author of In The Long Run: A Father, A Son, and Unintentional Lessons In Happiness."
In Big Problems, Little Problems, Ben Feller focuses on a vital lesson that's rarely seen in a father-themed resource: the bidirectional aspect of a quality relationship between a dad and his child in which they learn from each other. It's a lesson that anyone who uses this wonderful book will appreciate.--Christopher Brown, President of the National Fatherhood Initiative
Beyond being a charming story capturing relatable moments in the life of a father and child, Big Problems, Little Problems beautifully shares social and emotional strategies that will benefit all kids, from using in-the-moment coping skills for managing frustration to building emotional regulation and becoming a more flexible thinker.--Debbie Reber, parenting activist and author of "Differently Wired: Raising an Exceptional Child in a Conventional World."
