Meet Melu. He has a lot of feelings too.
Four picture books that help little ones put words to the big things happening inside — because feelings are easier to talk about when you meet them in a story first.
For readers ages 3–7
Every child has big feelings. Not every child has the words for them.
The Little Feelings, Big Lessons series follows Melu the Dragon through four of the most universal experiences in early childhood — shyness, emotional overwhelm, worry, and fear of the dark. Each book is a doorway into a conversation: a way to say “Melu felt this too” and watch your child’s face light up with recognition.
These books are written for the bedtime read, the library visit, the hard afternoon when your kid is flooded and doesn’t know why. They’re also written for you — the grown-up who wants to help but isn’t always sure how to start.

Melu loves watching — watching the other dragons play, watching from the edge of the meadow, wishing he could join in. But every time he tries, the words get stuck. A warm, honest story about shyness, belonging, and finding your voice in your own time.

The Dragon Who Worried Too Much
Ages 3–7 · $11.99
What if something goes wrong? What if everyone laughs? What if, what if, what if? Melu’s brain is always thinking ahead — and not always about good things. A gentle story about worry, what it’s really for, and how to quiet it down.
