Exploring feelings in a kid-sized way
by April Bell
When four gentle aliens arrive at a playground on Earth, they don't come to take over or explore the planet.
They come to listen.
In Book 1: The Arrival, children meet Jubi, Jeli, JoJo, and Jiji - kind visitors who help kids notice and talk about feelings they can't always see. As the aliens quietly observe and connect with children, emotions like happiness, excitement, curiosity, and nervousness begin to make sense in a safe, gentle way.
Told through short, calming moments and soft illustrations, this story helps children learn that:
Feelings are natural and shared by everyone
It's okay to feel more than one thing at a time
Talking about emotions can feel safe and comforting
Designed for children ages 5-10, this book supports emotional awareness without labeling children or overwhelming them. Feelings are explored as experiences - not identities.
For Parents & CaregiversAt the back of the book, adults will find a brief, easy-to-read section that explains the emotional themes in simple, clinical language. This helps parents, educators, and caregivers understand what children are learning and offers gentle guidance for continuing conversations at home.
About the SeriesBig Moments, Little Stories is a growing picture book series created to help children explore emotions one step at a time. Each book focuses on different feelings, using familiar characters and predictable structure to build emotional confidence.
Future books will gently explore bigger and more complex emotions, always with the same calm tone, inclusive storytelling, and child-centered approach.
