Evergreen Elementary Series

Children face complex psychological challenges daily: emotional, anxiety, friendship conflicts, identity questions, grief, change, decision-making, but most children's books either oversimplify these into hollow platitudes ("just be yourself!") or avoid them entirely. Meanwhile, many of the most important psychological concepts are simply never taught to kids at all. No one sits down with a six-year-old and explains how their brain processes emotions (in terms they can understand), shows morals/lessons backed by research in scenarios they can relate to (e.g. why comparison steals joy), or how to understand and build a healthy sense of identity. Parents/ Educators want to have these conversations but often lack the language or tools. Schools focus on academics, not inner life.

This series fills that gap. It translates cutting-edge developmental psychology into engaging stories with lovable characters children actually want to read, then helps them internalize each lesson through structured practice and reflection. These aren't lessons kids will stumble into eventually. They're research-based tools delivered at the developmental moment when they matter most, setting children up for lifelong emotional health.
