Zoey's Big Feelings & Bigger Ideas
Big feelings. Bigger ideas. One wonderfully unique brain.
Meet Zoey-a bright, creative girl whose brain is always busy
Zoey has a million ideas, gets distracted by interesting things, and sometimes her feelings become very BIG. At school, she discovers that following a plan isn't always easy when her brain wants to jump from one idea to the next.
With the help of her teacher, Zoey learns simple ways to slow down, take a breath, focus on one step at a time, and keep track of her BIG ideas for later.
Most importantly, Zoey discovers something that every child deserves to know:
Her brain isn't broken. Her brain is hers.
Zoey's Big Feelings & Bigger Ideas is a colorful, rhyming story that celebrates children who think differently, feel deeply, and see the world in their own unique way. It offers a gentle and positive message about ADHD, emotional regulation, creativity, curiosity, and self-acceptance.
Through Zoey's school-day adventure, children can learn that:
- Big feelings are okay.
- Getting distracted doesn't mean you're failing.
- Taking breaks can help when emotions feel overwhelming.
- Big ideas don't have to be forgotten-you can write them down for later.
- Asking for help is a strength.
- A different way of thinking can also be a wonderful strength.
- You don't have to change who you are to be amazing.
Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, families, counselors, and caregivers, Zoey's story gives children a character they can recognize themselves in while opening the door to conversations about attention, emotions, and feeling different.
Because sometimes the biggest ideas come from the busiest brains.
Zoey's Big Feelings & Bigger Ideas is designed for children approximately ages 4-8, especially children who:
- Have ADHD or attention difficulties
- Have busy, active, or easily distracted minds

- Feel frustrated when schoolwork or instructions are difficult
- Think creatively or approach things differently
