Big Feelings

For the chapters of growing up that don't have words yet

The first day of school. A worry that won't quiet down. Learning to share. A story that gives a big feeling a shape, and gives your child a hero who works through it. Comfort that does a little teaching too.

  • A feeling named and worked through, gently
  • Life lessons woven into the story, not bolted on
  • A hero who handles the hard part

The Collection

A library of one-of-a-kind keepsakes, all about them

One book is the start. A birthday this year, a bedtime favorite next, the day they met their sibling after that. Build a shelf of hardcovers your child stars in, a library written for one reader.

  • Build a shelf, one occasion at a time
  • Every book stars the same hero
  • A library written for one reader

Not sure which one?

Pick the theme by what they’re living right now.

Start with the moment, not the genre

A new baby is coming, school just started, they are scared of the dark. The best theme answers something happening in their actual week. The story does a little gentle work, not just entertainment.

Let their age set the pace

Younger kids love rhythm and repetition, so bedtime and family themes land soft. Older kids want stakes, so a big adventure with a real problem to solve keeps them turning pages.

When in doubt, make them the hero of an adventure

If you are buying a gift and do not know the week-to-week, a quest with their name on the cover is the safe, delightful default. Big feelings is the pick when something hard is going on.

Build a collection over time

You do not have to choose once. A birthday adventure this year, a bedtime favorite next, the new-sibling book when the baby comes. Same hero, a growing shelf.
