Overview
A little dog with big feelings shows kids that every emotion matters.Bix may be a little dog, but his feelings are anything but small! As he journeys through his day—navigating challenges, celebrating wins, and making new friends—brightly colored balloons begin to appear, each one reflecting the emotions he carries. Some balloons soar high with joy, some sink low with sadness, and others stretch, pop, or simply refuse to stay hidden.
Just like feelings, these balloons can’t always be controlled—but they can be noticed, named, and understood. With playful charm and heart, Bix’s Balloons helps kids see that every feeling matters, every emotion belongs, and none of them have to be faced alone.
