Book 1: Anger Is A Hedgehog
By Debra Roy, LPC
Henry the hedgehog has a soft belly, a kind heart… and sometimes, really big feelings.
When things don’t go the way he hoped, Henry’s anger starts to build — prickly, loud, and hard to control. But maybe anger isn’t something to fear… maybe it’s trying to protect him.
Told with warmth and rooted in real therapeutic insight, Anger Is A Hedgehog helps children understand and navigate anger with compassion and connection.
Perfect for kids ages 5–9, this gentle story supports emotional learning at home, in schools, or in counseling settings.
💛 Includes a special section just for grown-ups.
At the back of the book, readers will find thoughtful guidance written by a licensed professional counselor — with conversation prompts, emotion regulation tools, and tips for supporting children through big feelings like anger.

Book 2: Lonely is a Tabby
By Debra Roy, LPC
Lonely Is a Tabby follows Jax, a barn cat who longs to belong. No matter how hard he tries, the wildcats in the woods ignore him or push him away, leaving him wondering if something is wrong with him. But on the quiet walk home—past the goats, calves, and foals—someone kind has been watching him all along. With soft woodland illustrations and a tender narrative, this story helps children understand loneliness, self-worth, and the surprising places where friendship can grow.
At the back of the book, you’ll find bonus pages with simple tools — created to help kids (and grown-ups) talk about loneliness, belonging, and self-worth after the story ends.
