Hey Superparents,
I wanted to share a little more about a project that is incredibly close to my heart: "The Boy with the Blue Bike."
We often see picture books for younger kids or dense novels for older ones, but I wanted to create something special for that "in-between" stage—a proper chapter book that keeps them turning pages while planting seeds for emotional growth.
Here is what you can expect from the story:
🎨 Illustrations That Breathe Life into the Story This isn't just text on a page. The illustrations are incredible—they truly bring the chapters to life, helping kids visualize the journey and connect deeply with the characters.
❤️ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) at its Core While it is a fun and engaging story first and foremost, the heart of the book is about SEL. It’s designed to help kids navigate their feelings, build resilience, and understand themselves better—all without feeling like a "lesson."
What is it about? It follows the journey of a young boy and his trusty blue bike. While the story is full of fun and adventure that kids love, it gently weaves in important lessons about processing emotions and overcoming challenges. It’s the kind of story that opens the door for you to talk to your kids about their own feelings naturally, using the characters they’ve come to love as a bridge.
It’s a story I’m proud of because it respects a child’s intelligence while nurturing their emotional health.
👇 Question for you: Do you find it hard to find chapter books that tackle real emotions? What are your kids reading right now?
