Repsaj and Roxy are two rollicking, skateboarding, rock'n'rolling Jack Russel pups who meet one day on the beach. They quickly become best friends and share rip-roaring adventures along with some big emotions. Navigating emotions can sometimes be a challenge for children. Each chapter in this fun and engaging picture book introduces kids to the biggest feelings-sad, happy, scared, and angry—by showing what they are, how they feel, and how Roxy & Repsaj deal with these strong feelings in positive ways.

This cute story by Andra Coulter, written in language kids can relate to with charming illustrations that will capture their attention, was designed for ages 5-12 with therapeutic techniques Andra has used working with people. Repsaj and Roxy teach kids tools that help them normalize and handle big emotions and feelings in healthy ways. When kids understand their own emotions and feelings, they can also be understanding of other people's feelings, helping them develop self-awareness and emotional intelligence as they grow.
