Big Emotions, Little Bakers

- Sadie and Eli’s Cosy Heart Banana Bread -

When a heavy, blue cloud settles over Sadie's heart, she struggles to understand her emotions or how to clear them away. Rather than pushing her for answers or forcing a smile, her best friend, Eli, gently sits by her side, teaching her that big emotions are completely okay and never something she has to carry alone. Together, through patient presence and the warm, comforting process of baking banana bread, they discover how a heavy heart can begin to feel a little lighter.

Key Themes & Highlights

• Emotional Literacy for Kids: Normalises ‘big feelings’ like sadness and overwhelm without rushing children to ‘fix’ them immediately.

• Empathy & Friendship: Demonstrates quiet support, active listening, and gentle presence.

• Interactive Comfort: Uses baking as a sensory, ground-level activity to help process emotions and bring warmth to difficult moments.
