What happens when you dare to dream big, but your dream doesn't come true?

We can teach kids to handle disappointment and loss in a healthy, positive way?

Meet Apple. Just when Apple's big dream is about to come true, his life takes a detour leaving him trapped in the cold, dark ground. With no hope in sight, Apple feels sad, angry, and lost.

But then one day the ground feels a bit warmer, and something begins to change. Will Apple's big dream ever come true or will he stay stuck forever?

Let kids know all of their feelings are ok!

Apple's Big Dream is a beautifully illustrated emotional story. This picture book shows readers the power of acknowledging their emotions and ways to face unexpected circumstances.

• Loss

• Growth Mindset
