In this episode of Tales and Tidbits, we explore how picture books with darker themes help children navigate big emotions like fear, sadness, and anger. With insights from Seunghee Chung, counsellor at Tanglin Trust School, we discuss how storytelling builds resilience, fosters empathy, and provides a safe space for children to process their feelings.
