Arya & Everyone Else's Feelings
$19.99
10”x10” hardcover book - $19.99
Children’s picture book for ages 4-8. 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. Arya imagines a fox, a flying horse, and an eagle to help her feel safe and protected. That night she falls asleep with her animals by her side, feeling happy that she doesn’t have to carry anyone else’s feelings.

INVITE ME TO YOUR SCHOOL OR EVENT:
I love to share Arya & Everyone Else’s Feelings with kids. We read the book, experience the 3 step process together, and, if there’s the opportunity, we go deeper through discussion or drawing.
After experiencing the book, kids can imagine what helps them feel safe and then draw whatever that is or they can write letters to their beloved community members.
I also love talking about my journey from Little Kelsey having a dream of being an author to Grownup Kelsey achieving that dream!
As a self-published author, specifically, I have a unique perspective on the book writing and publishing process.
I am located in Queens, NYC and so far I’ve:
visited 3K, PreK and 1st Grade classrooms;
shared with an entire elementary school via Zoom;
done shop small events;
and even did a special event in a church at a time when grownups were having big feelings in the community.
I would love to add your crew to this list!
