Hello Story Seeds Podcast listeners. It’s been a while!

We are excited to share this special episode - a collaboration we have done with Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups about Feelings. This episode features our story “The World’s Biggest Detective” by author Chris Grabenstein and creative rockstar, Jasper.

Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups is a 7-part audio adventure where creators from the Kids Listen community come together to explore feelings in all their shapes and sizes. Each episode pairs two related emotions with original clips and reflections to help kids (and grownups!) understand, name, and navigate their feelings.

This episode's theme is a deep dive into the emotions of embarrassment and pride. You'll listen to stories that showcase moments that make us squirm, moments that make us shine, and how each can teach us something about who we are and who we want to be. Embarrassment and pride might seem like opposites, but they’re really two sides of the same coin. Both are “self-conscious” emotions that help us reflect on how we show up in the world.

Educators & Caregivers: Download this free PDF Activity Sheet created by Eileen Kennedy-Moore, PhD, a children’s psychologist and podcaster. You can also check out Literary Safari’s brand new picture book for children ages 3-8 Life is a Dance: Enjoy It which also explores the themes of embarrassment and pride.
