A gentle picture book for children whose bodies notice everything.
Dani the Deer notices sounds. Faces. Voices. Tiny changes.
When a loud moment at home makes Dani’s body go on alert, her watching feeling stays turned on even after things become quiet again.
With the help of Grandma Deer, Dani begins learning that her watching feeling is not bad. It is her body trying to protect her.
Little by little, Dani learns how to notice safety, connection, and moments of rest.
Dani the Deer and the Watching Feeling is a warm, nervous-system-informed story about hypervigilance, co-regulation, emotional safety, and learning how to feel safe enough to rest.
This book is perfect for children who:
notice everything around them
watch faces, moods, voices, sounds, or changes very carefully
feel responsible for making sure everyone is okay
struggle to relax after loud or stressful moments
need gentle support with anxiety, body alertness, and emotional regulation
Created by trauma therapist, play therapist, and EMDR trainer Jackie Flynn, this story gives parents, caregivers, teachers, counselors, and therapists a compassionate way to help children understand that their nervous system is not bad or wrong when it stays alert.
A supportive book for homes, classrooms, counseling offices, playrooms, family therapy spaces, and trauma-informed therapy settings.
