Emotions and Potions: The Green Eyed Garden

By P McHugh

When jealousy grows like a vine, can gratitude save the day?

Betty the Witch loves her cozy garden and her trusty old wand even if it is just a brown twig with a knot and a bend. But when her friend Willow zooms in with a brand-new, glittery Super-Star Wand that creates rainbow bubbles, Betty starts to feel a "sour, green feeling" in her tummy.

Suddenly, prickly Green-Eyed Vines spring up from the ground, tangling in Betty's hair and trapping her in a cage of jealousy. Trapped and grumpy, Betty realizes that watching someone else's garden won't make her own plants grow.

With the help of her wise mentor, Ebony the Cat, Betty learns to look past the glitter and find the magic in what she already has.

Emotions and Potions Book 4: The Green-Eyed Garden helps children navigate the complex emotions of envy and comparison. Through the magical "Gratitude Grow" technique, young readers will learn how to wither the vines of jealousy by focusing on their own unique strengths.

Perfect for parents and educators, this story teaches:

Emotional Regulation: How to identify the physical sensations of jealousy.

Coping Skills: Using gratitude to shift focus away from comparison.

Self-Worth: Understanding that your own magic is special, even if it looks different from others.
