Alex Asgari

Alex is a teacher, family man, and lifelong believer in the power of stories. Originally from England, he began writing Big Feelings, Silly Tails! as a way to help his daughter learn to read — and to bring a smile on the days when big emotions felt overwhelming. What started as a collection of bedtime tales soon grew into a book designed to encourage children, parents, and educators to embrace feelings of every kind, from joyful to grumpy, silly to serious.

As both a teacher and a dad, Alex knows that kids don’t just need to read; they need stories that meet them where they are. His mission is simple: to remind children that all emotions are welcome, and that each one carries lessons worth exploring.

When he isn’t teaching or writing, Alex can usually be found tapping his feet (a little too much, according to his family) or being “supervised” by his two cats. Big Feelings, Silly Tails! is his debut children’s book, with more stories already on the horizon.

If you and your family enjoy this book, Alex warmly invites you to leave a review on Amazon — your feedback helps bring more silly tails to life!
