Picture books that help kids 4-7 understand and work through big emotions, one story at a time. Book 2 arrives September 22, 2026. Subscribe for a free monthly activity and full access to the Activity Library. You can also catch Paisley on Adventures with Paisley Poodle, our YouTube channel with story times, crafts, movement activities, games, and more.
Every month, subscribers get a brand-new printable activity, plus full access to everything already in the library, a growing collection built around the Paisley Poodle Books.
Inside you'll find reflective worksheets, hands-on crafts like a courage chain and a keepsake courage shield, outdoor scavenger hunts, calming breathing exercises, seed-planting projects, dinner-table conversation starters, and open-ended art activities. We're also adding practical everyday tools for parents, like reading logs and chore charts, to help make growing brave (and staying a little more organized!) easier at home.
Every activity takes about 10-15 minutes, uses simple materials you likely already have at home, and is built around the same idea Paisley learns in the book: being brave doesn't mean never feeling scared, it means finding small ways to keep going.
