Meet Dr. Maddie. She's got big glasses, mismatched socks, and confidence to spare.
When Maddie's mom has to work, Maddie doesn't sulk - she opens a therapy office of her very own. Wearing giant glasses, a cape made from a tablecloth, and a glittery unicorn name tag, Dr. Maddie is officially open for business.
With fearless confidence and a big heart, Maddie helps animal friends who show up with very big feelings. Using creativity, curiosity, and child-sized coping tools, she proves that emotions don't have to be scary - and that believing in yourself can be just as powerful as any solution.
Dr. Maddie is a playful, empowering picture book that introduces social-emotional learning in a way that feels fun, modern, and relatable. Perfect for children who feel deeply, think boldly, and love stories about kids who lead with confidence. A delightful read for families, classrooms, and counseling spaces alike.
And just when Dr. Maddie thinks her day is done...
a tiny new patient appears.
