Leo and the Big Storm

By Lily Nixon

Leo and the Big Storm is a therapeutic picture book designed to support neurodivergent children as they learn emotional regulation, body awareness, and self-advocacy skills.

Leo is a gentle young lion with a big heart and intense emotions. When play becomes overwhelming or words feel hurtful, Leo experiences his feelings as a storm inside his body. With guidance from Old Turtle, Leo learns evidence-informed coping strategies, including slow breathing, grounding through body stillness, and using clear, assertive words to communicate boundaries.

Part of the Leo and the Big Feelings book series, this story is written specifically for neurodivergent kids, including children with ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges, anxiety, and emotional regulation difficulties. The simple language, predictable structure, and concrete tools make it ideal for therapy sessions, classrooms, social-emotional learning (SEL), and at-home practice.

This book helps children understand that big feelings are not bad - and with practice and support, they can learn to regulate their emotions safely and confidently.

Ideal for:

✔ Therapists & counselors

✔ Educators & special education classrooms

✔ Parents supporting emotional regulation

✔ SEL, mindfulness, and social skills development
