BOOK 1 · THE MISTY NARROWS

Finley and the Shadow of Fear.

Finley is sure something terrible lives in the dark cave — and the more he imagines it, the bigger the Gurglewump grows. So Hugo helps him draw the monster, and together the friends blow their bravest thoughts into a golden Courage Bubbloon. (The monster, it turns out, had no idea he was a monster.)

FOR THE GROWN-UPS

Big feelings are even bigger when you're four.

The closet monster. The drop-off tears. The meltdown nobody can explain — least of all your child. For nights like these: a bedtime story with the parent's guide built in — the story for your child, the words for you.

All the big feelings →

— below the surface —

Underneath the fairy tale, there's a map psychologists have used for over 45 years.

Lovetopus is evidence-informed — built on established psychology, not a treatment. Every book ends with a guide for parents: why the feeling happens, what your child might be feeling, and how to talk about it.
