Sometimes feelings get tangled. Sometimes they feel heavy. Sometimes they are just plain hard to explain.

I Feel Like Old Spaghetti is a powerful picture book that helps children explore and talk about big emotions such as grief, anxiety, sadness, and the sense of being left out or alone. With vivid illustrations and language children instantly understand, author Justine M. Bean captures what it’s like to feel messy and overwhelmed — like a plate of old spaghetti.

More than a story of struggle, this book is about hope. It gently reassures young readers that emotions can be shared, that help is always worth reaching for, and that they are never truly alone.

Perfect for families, teachers, and anyone supporting children, I Feel Like Old Spaghetti opens the door to conversations about mental health and provides comfort through connection and understanding.
