Many young children experience anxiety, sensitivity, overwhelm, or self-doubt long before they have the language to explain what they are feeling. Without practical tools, these emotions can feel confusing or unmanageable — both for children and the adults supporting them.

Simon & Sally was created to teach emotional regulation skills early, using stories as a practical and accessible entry point. Through engaging rhyming stories and relatable characters, children are shown calm, confident ways of responding to everyday emotional challenges.

The series is designed for young children, particularly in the early years and emergent reader stage, and is intentionally written to be shared. Parents, teachers, and therapists are given a meaningful framework to support emotional learning through conversation, reflection, and repeated use of the stories in real-life moments.

Simon & Sally is especially helpful for:

• Children who feel anxious, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed.
• Families supporting emotional regulation at home.
• Teachers and schools focusing on social-emotional learning.
• Therapists and professionals using story as a supportive emotional tool

The stories are simple and engaging for children, while being intentionally layered to support the adults guiding them.
