The Island Where Feelings Grow
Other Available Formats
Overview
A magical, body-based story that helps children understand emotions, one feeling at a time.
When school feels too hard and emotions grow too big, Ollie runs away - only to discover a magical floating island where a wise owl teaches animals how to notice, name, and listen to their feelings.
As each animal reacts differently to a surprising pink elephant, Ollie learns something powerful: feelings show up in our bodies before we understand them in our minds. A racing heart, tight muscles, curious questions, quiet calm - every feeling has a message, and every body speaks its own language.
Written by occupational therapist Bengisu Gonul, The Island Where Feelings Grow gently supports children in:
Noticing body sensations connected to emotions
Naming feelings with curiosity and confidence
Understanding that all emotions are safe and meaningful
Building empathy for themselves and others
Perfect for ages 5-12, this beautifully illustrated storybook supports social-emotional learning (SEL), body awareness, and emotional regulation at home, in classroom, or in therapy settings.
With reflective prompts and a simple body-mapping activity at the end, this book invites meaningful conversations and shared moments of connection.
This is more than a story, it's an invitation to grow where feelings live.
