Our KickStarter is LIVE! And we need your help to bring our vision to life.
This is our family project about kindness, feelings, and imagination. And we’d love for you to be part of the journey.
Why We Created This Book
Soft Hearts Matter
Kids deserve to see gentleness in themselves and others.
This book helps them name feelings, notice kindness, and choose compassion.
Representation Is Non-Negotiable
Black children deserve stories that show them as creative, curious, loving, and whole. Not just surviving. Thriving.
Healing is for Kids too
Children grieve too, even when they don’t have the words for it. This book helps them recognize that big feelings don’t make them “too much.” They make them human.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Professional Illustration & Design
We’re working with a children’s book artist to bring the characters, scenes, and emotions to life with depth, color, and warmth.
Activity & Discussion Pages
Part of this book’s magic is the conversation it opens. Funds help create reflection questions, journaling prompts, and activities for families and classrooms.
High-Quality Printing
We want this book to feel good in your hands — durable pages, vibrant color, soft-touch cover. This is a keepsake, not a throwaway paperback.
Bringing It to More Kids
Your contribution helps us make sure this book reaches libraries, schools, community programs, and families who need it — not just those who can afford it.
This book opens the door for conversations about feelings, grief, kindness, and how to care for our hearts and each other.
A Story to Help Kids Feel Seen & Understood
This book opens gentle conversations about feelings, grief, kindness, and care. So often, kids are left to navigate loss without language for what they’re feeling. We teach them how to be brave, how to behave, how to keep going — but not always how to let go or how to carry love forward after things change. This story helps make those tender moments a little easier to talk through, together.
“We wrote this because we needed it.
Not just as a dedication to our own healing,
but as a reminder that little hearts carry big feelings too.”
