My House My Key

Welcome to the most amazing house in the whole world-your very own body!! My House My Key is a delightful guide that uses the metaphor of the body as a house for the self. Growing up brings big emotions that children don't always know how to handle. Anger, sadness, and anxiety have a way of taking over! Children are often left feeling trapped outside of their comfort zones. My House My Key offers an outlet to invite children to reimagine their world in a way that they are the captain of their own vessel and they have the choice of happiness. Readers discover that their mind and body are just like a beautiful house-and they are the sole owner and they hold the key! The book is based upon the beautiful quote from Charles Lummis, I am bigger than anything that can happen to me. All these things, sorrow, misfortune, and suffering, are outside my door. I am in the house and I have the key. The book is meant to be a tool for young and older people to use to teach emotional regulation, mindfulness, self-care, and the power they have to choose. Anger, worry, and sadness are just visitors. They can knock on the door, but don't always get in! In My House My Key, children learn the life-changing lesson that they are the boss of their own feelings. They get to decide which emotions are allowed to come into the house.
