Little Hands, Big Feelings

Welcome to Little Hands, Big Feelings, a collection of gentle picture books by La Noe about the very big things that happen in very small lives.

Waiting when you really, really want something. Feeling anger take over your whole body. Finding the courage to say “stop”. Making a mistake and trying again. Learning that even grown-ups sometimes need to recharge.

Each story focuses on one everyday challenge and turns it into something a young child can understand, remember and use.

Through warmth, humor and simple language, the books introduce little anchors for difficult moments: words to say, feelings to recognise, ways to calm down, ask for help, set a boundary or make things right.

And over time, those stories can become part of your family’s own language.

Start anywhere.

Each book stands on its own, so you can choose the story that fits your child, your family, or simply the kind of day you’re having.
