We first came across Arya & Everyone Else’s Feelings on Instagram.

Arya & Everyone Else’s Feelings is a story-based picture book for ages 4 to 8, but we have a feeling others can benefit from it too. After all, children’s books have also been known to help adults.

Purchase the book on the author’s website. (Or get a Paperback copy on Amazon.)

In this magical book, we see Arya explore her cozy city neighborhood. She visits her friends and neighbors and when she does, they make her feel joyful and happy.

Today, though, they all have big feelings. John is sad, Olivia is excited, and Sasha is worried. By the time Arya gets home she is feeling heavy, tired and upset.

Her dad talks to her about her day, teaches her about empathy, and shares a 3-step process to help: 1) Feel your feet. 2) Shake out the feelings. 3) Imagine your protection.
