Stories About Big Feelings — Anger, Waiting, and Shyness
Three- and four-year-olds have adult-sized feelings and toddler-sized words for them. A story that shows a character in the middle of one — the chest that feels too tight, the waiting that feels impossible — hands your child language for something they've felt but couldn't describe.
These stories don't rush the feeling or fix it in a sentence. The character gets angry, or jealous, or shy, and comes out the other side, which is the part that's genuinely reassuring.

Reading tip: If your child recognizes themselves in one of these, expect them to ask for it repeatedly. That's the story doing its job — let them have it as many nights as they want.
