About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate the push and pull of their own personality, especially if they are prone to sudden outbursts or feisty moods. Tessa Snaps Snakes captures the messy, vibrant reality of early childhood emotions without being clinical or preachy. Through a series of relatable vignettes, it explores how different children react to daily frustrations, joys, and social interactions. Lester provides a mirror for preschoolers to see their own intense feelings reflected in a safe and playful way. It is particularly helpful for children aged 2 to 5 who are beginning to understand how their actions affect others. By showcasing a range of temperaments, the book validates the child's internal experience while gently introducing the vocabulary of self-regulation and empathy.
