AND is a gentle, playful picture book for children and the adults who care for them. Each page introduces an animal that holds two true experiences at once.
I am Porcupine and I love to stay safe and I sometimes feel lonely.
I am Turtle and I move slowly and I hide when I am scared.
I am Lion and I protect others and I feel the weight of responsibility.
Through simple animal imagery, kids are invited to notice their own both-ness. Brave and worried. Curious and cautious. Strong and tender. The book helps children build language for inner complexity without shame. It also gives therapists, parents, and teachers an easy way to start conversations about feelings, protection, identity, and belonging.
This resource can be used in play therapy, EMDR, counseling, classrooms, and at home. It is designed to support nervous system informed care and a growing sense of self. The message is simple. Many things can be true about me, and I am still whole.
