For Parents & Educators

More than a book — a way to begin

You don't need a script or a curriculum. You need one good question at the right moment. These resources give you several.

Conversation guides

Four to six prompts per book that move past yes-or-no answers.

Classroom activities

Low-prep circle time, small group, and art extensions for K–3.

At-home routines

Ways to carry the theme into dinner, bedtime, and the car ride.

Grandparent guides

Gentle openers for the grown-ups who get the honest answers.

Conversation prompts by book

Read the story first. Then pick one question — just one — and let the child do most of the talking.

  • Which feeling in this book felt most like you today?
  • Where do you feel that feeling in your body?
  • What is one thing that helps you when a big feeling shows up?
  • Who is someone safe you can tell when you feel this way?
