It's OK When I Feel This Way Children's Book

“It’s Ok If I Feel This Way” is a charming and insightful creation born from the imaginative mind of first grade teacher Abigail Maria Tizzio. Originally conceived as a graduate project with a mission to guide children on the art of expressing emotions, this enchanting manuscript has now blossomed into a captivating book, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Abigail’s mom, Marijo. Abigail brings to life a world where emotions are celebrated, understood and embraced. Through rhythmic pose and vibrant illustrations brilliantly created by Italian artist Giovanni Abielle, children are encouraged to navigate the kaleidoscope of feelings with creativity and compassion. “It’s Ok If I Feel This Way” is not just a book, it’s a testament to the power of collaboration between a caring teacher/writer and a dedicated parent who recognized the potential to share this invaluable message with a broader audience.

PUBLISHER—MARIJO TIZZIO

"With the tremendous guidance and encouragement of book designer Josh Beatman, my vision of turning Abigail’s words into a book for children, parents and teachers led to walking a new and unfamiliar course. As a lawyer, processes fell into place: copyright, illustrator choice, contract creation, and the establishment of a publishing company with my daughter. “Alma Mater” translated means “nourishing mother” and also represents our names, Abigail and Marijo. Alma Mater Publishing is proud to present the first of what we hope will be many books that excite, inspire, and encourage our followers and readers."
