Books for Young Readers
Big feelings, small people.
Stories that sit down next to a child instead of trying to fix them — about the flutter before the brave thing, the noise in a too-loud room, and two very small dogs who were afraid of almost everything.
Available now
Three books, three little worlds. All available on Amazon.
Three series growing at once
Each one is written for a slightly different reader — and a slightly different bedtime.
Little Feelings, Big Lessons
Melu has a lot of feelings, and no idea what to do with any of them yet. The Shy Dragon Who Found His Roar is out now, with three more adventures on the way. Meet Melu →
The Bunny Who
Pip feels things in his body before he has words for them — a flutter, a heaviness, a buzz, a heat. Each book names one signal and shows a small, doable way to care for it. Book 1 is out now; three more are written.
Emma and Luna
Two tiny, shivery, silly Italian greyhounds and one big happy forever home — based on Kristy’s own rescue dogs. Book 1 is out now, with five more written and waiting on illustrations.
More stories, already written
These are drafted and in the illustration queue. The newsletter is the fastest way to hear when one lands.
The Bunny Who Felt Heavy
When sadness sits in your chest like a stone. Pip learns that heavy feelings do not have to be hurried away, and that someone can sit with you while you carry one.
The Bunny Who Felt Buzzy
For the body that will not settle. Pip’s buzzy feeling gets a name, a shape, and a few gentle ways to let some of the fizz out.
The Bunny Who Felt Fiery
The hot feeling that rises fast. A story about big anger in a small body, and what to do with it that doesn’t hurt anyone.
Check the Couch First!
Luna has vanished. Again. A funny, cozy mystery with an ending every dog owner will see coming and love anyway.
The Night It Thundered
A storm, two very small dogs, and the discovery that being scared together is a lot better than being scared alone.
Three more Emma and Luna books
The Cat Who Didn’t Like Dogs, Barking at the Mail Truck, and A Snow Day for Emma and Luna — all written, all waiting on art.
A note for the grown-up reading along
Every one of these books ends with a page for you, not the child — a short, plain-language note on what the story was actually teaching and how to use it after the book closes. No lecture, no worksheet. Just the one thing worth saying again tomorrow.
They are written to be read out loud, more than once, by someone who is tired. We kept the sentences short on purpose.
Read it together tonight.
All three are available on Amazon in paperback.
