Big feelings can be hard to understand- especially when you don't yet have the words to explain what's happening.
The Resilience Range Book Set brings together six supportive children's books designed to help kids recognise, understand and talk about a wide range of emotions and experiences.
From anger and anxiety to sadness, happiness, kindness and those moments when something just feels unfair, each book uses relatable characters and everyday situations to make emotions easier for children to understand.
Rather than teaching children to avoid or suppress difficult feelings, the series helps them recognise that emotions are a normal part of life. Children can begin building the vocabulary to describe what they're experiencing, notice how emotions may feel in their bodies and explore appropriate ways to communicate and respond.
Together, the six books create a practical emotional literacy library that can be returned to again and again as different feelings and situations arise.
Perfect for families, classrooms, calm corners, wellbeing spaces, counselling and therapy settings.

How to Use the Set
You don't need to read all six books in order.
Choose the book that feels relevant to what's happening for your child or group at the time. A book might be read proactively while learning about emotions, brought out when a particular feeling has been showing up frequently, or revisited after a difficult experience once the child is ready to talk about it.
For classrooms and therapy spaces, the collection can also be kept somewhere accessible so individual books can be incorporated into emotional literacy activities, calm corner conversations or one-to-one support.
The goal isn't to eliminate difficult emotions. It's to help children gradually develop the language, understanding and strategies to navigate them.
Perfect for Calm Corners, Classrooms & Therapy Spaces
Having the complete collection means adults can reach for the book that best matches what a child is experiencing in that moment.
