The Feelings Ghost and the Missing Colors

The Feelings Ghost and the Missing Colors is a hand-illustrated picture book that teaches children to listen to their bodies. A warm chest, a wobbly tummy, fists that clench: as you read together, children notice these clues, name each feeling and try the read-along moves that help.

Read, feel and move together

Read-along moves invite children to take part as they read.

The Feelings Ghost Method

The Feelings Ghost Method is a body-first approach to emotional regulation. Big feelings often show up in the body before children have words for them.

Feel it. Name it. Help it.
