Choosing to be adventurous, brave and curious about yourself and the world are some of the most powerful things you can do!

I created the Be Ready Explorers to help bring focus to big tiny treasured moments. There was a time that I had forgotten to pay attention to “inside” signals that were telling me to slow down, enjoy the adventure and remember. I had even started to miss out on some of my most favorite things with my most favorite people. I lost sight of what it meant to be and feel ready.

The Be Ready Explorers believe relationships matter most. Our relationships grow and our inner-strengths get bigger and stronger as we invest in and care about them. The Be Ready Explorers are here to help children (ages 5-12) with these things during worldwide adventures! They never stop wondering and adventuring!

Featuring beautiful full-color illustrations, The Day the Sky Felt Full is an engaging and easy-to-read book that introduces children (alongside their important adults) to the world of feeling emotion-ful. The narrative shows children strategies to work through big emotions, building resilience and empowering connection. 

The Day the Sky Felt Full teaches children how they can understand their emotions and learn to make positive choices for themselves. 

Off she went with a twinkle of hope and a belief as big as can be. 

Each person across the world feels different emotions in different ways all across the day – sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes discouraged and lonely, and sometimes excited and proud. For some children, it can be hard to remember feeling happy or joyful when sadness, for example, feels heavy like rocks. Feelings come and go, just like the weather. 

Children can develop skills to become more aware, familiar, and comfortable with emotions. They can also learn how to see ways emotions affect one another. When children learn to identify what they are feeling and understand why they are feeling that way, they can connect with ways to navigate tough times and enjoy the good ones. After exploring their emotions, children will hold more hope, power, and magic to get through every day.

Enjoy seeing the twinkles of hope that come from sharing The Day the Sky Felt Full with the children in your life!
