A world where every child sees themselves in a story — and finds their way through it.
Simon Finds His Inside Voice
$21.99
Friend Simon Finds His Inside Voice is the story of Simon, a ginormous, loveable great white shark who wants nothing more than to make new friends. But every time he spots a game and swims toward it with his mouth open and his fins flying —
SWOOSHHH — not a creature in sight. Not even one.
It takes one wise, scratchy-voiced crab named Babs to help Simon understand: being yourself doesn't mean ignoring how you land on others. With Babs's gentle guidance, Simon learns the difference between his outside voice and his inside voice — and discovers that self-regulation isn't about becoming smaller. It's about knowing the place and the time.
Written by a retired Occupational Therapist with over 40 years of experience, every page of this book is built on the same developmental truth OT professionals teach daily: self-regulation is a skill, not a personality trait — and it is built through story, practice, and patient modeling.
Perfect for:
· Children ages 2–5 who struggle with volume, impulse control, or social approach
· Parents and caregivers looking for a natural conversation-starter about big feelings
· Preschool teachers and school counselors
· Occupational therapists seeking books to recommend to families
· Children with sensory processing differences, ADHD, or social skills challenges
Printed in the Dyslexie Font for maximum readability and inclusion.
Part of the Porgy & Petunia™ series — where every adventure builds a smarter, braver, more resilient child.
Does your child struggle with big energy in small spaces — charging in too fast, too loud, too much — and not understanding why everyone steps back?


Simon Finds His Inside Voice
$21.99
Porgy & Petunia's Spikey Adventure is the story of Porgy, an energetic little hedgehog with one unfortunate habit: whenever he gets upset or angry, he twirls around until his spikes stand straight up — and sticks to everything nearby. It is a problem. Until his best friend Petunia the pufferfish arrives in her fishmobile with the gentlest, most powerful tool a child can learn.
Take a deep breath.
Hold it in — 1... 2... 3...
Blow it out.
This is not a book that lectures children about feelings. It is a book that puts a real, scientifically grounded coping strategy into a child's hands — through a story they will want to hear again and again, and a breathing technique they will practice every time.
Written by a retired Occupational Therapist with over 40 years of professional experience, Porgy & Petunia's Spikey Adventure is built on the same principle OT practitioners use daily: the most effective coping tools are the ones children discover through story and practice — not instruction.
Perfect for:
· Children ages 2–5 who struggle with anger, frustration, or emotional outbursts
· Parents who need a simple, repeatable calm-down tool that actually works
· Preschool teachers building calm-down corners and emotional regulation routines
· Occupational therapists, school counselors, and pediatric practitioners
· Children with sensory processing differences, ADHD, or anxiety
Printed in the Dyslexie Font for maximum readability and inclusion.
Part of the Porgy & Petunia™ series — where every adventure builds a smarter, braver, more resilient child.
