Local children’s author and Early Childhood Educator Alisha Mehan will be at The Book Man on Saturday, October 24 from 1–5 PMfor a special pop-up and book signing featuring her children’s book, Rylan’s Big Feelings.
Created for young children, Rylan’s Big Feelingsexplores the emotions children experience in everyday moments at school, home, and play. The story helps children recognize, understand, and talk about their feelings in a simple and relatable way.
As an Early Childhood Educator, Alisha has seen firsthand how important it is for young children to have language and tools to express their emotions. Her inspiration for the book came from wanting to create a story that families and educators could use to help children talk about their own big feelings.
“I wanted to create something that felt relatable for little ones and gave them a simple way to talk about what they’re feeling,” says Mehan. “Big emotions are a normal part of childhood, and I hope this story helps children feel understood while giving families and educators an opportunity to start those conversations.”
Visitors to The Book Man on October 24 will have the opportunity to meet Alisha, learn more about Rylan’s Big Feelings, purchase a copy, and have their book personally signed. Personalized copies will also be available.
The event will also feature a raffle, with a chance to win a copy of Rylan’s Big Feelings and a $25 Book Man gift card.
