The Hug
Very sweet book One of my grandaughters does the regulated breathing every night so I liked that it was incorporated in it. The story has a wonderful lesson and the art work was exceptional.

The Dad who Didn't Know
My kids sometimes struggle to understand why their Dad has to be away for work and why sometimes he has to work at home. They are intuitive enough to understand when he not himself due to work stress. Like all kids they tend to think its something they have done wrong. This book helps them understand things from Dads perspective and not take it personally. It has also initiated some great chats about how it can be scary to not know what to do, how worry can take over our thoughts and the importance of finding the best way for ourselves to clear our worries. I love the conversations these books start!

I bought these books for me and some small nieces and future grandbabies. I am so thankful for your books. They’re helping me help others learn what they need to learn. That I wish I could have known at their age. I’m 49 yo and just now reparenting myself and teaching my friends kids with these books. So that when ever I become a grandmother I can help impart some wisdom on them. Thank you again

The Hug that Got Stuck
A wonderful book💖💖💖Gave it to my five year old Great Granddaughter. She really enjoyed it and it was a perfect way to open discussion around being anxious She asked what that meant , offered alternative words, worried, nervous, and then she talked about times when she has those thoughts and feeling, and developed a “replacement thought”. Absolutely wonderful books for children and adults.
... while fostering deeper connection with your children.
