Who Can I Talk To?

Sometimes kids feel sad. Sometimes they feel worried, scared, or alone. And sometimes they have big feelings they don't quite know how to explain. Who Can I Talk To? is a gentle, reassuring children's book that helps young readers understand that they are never alone-and that there is always someone safe who will listen. Through simple language, warm illustrations, and relatable moments, this story walks children through what it feels like when emotions bubble up and shows them how talking to a trusted person can help. As the story unfolds, children learn that it's okay to speak up when something feels wrong or heavy. They are introduced to safe, caring adults they can turn to, including parents, grandparents, teachers, school counselors, community helpers, and others whose job is to protect and support them. The book also gently reminds children that they can talk to God in quiet moments, whisper their worries, and find comfort in prayer. Rather than promising that problems will disappear, Who Can I Talk To? offers something just as important: reassurance. It shows children that sharing their feelings can help them feel calmer, safer, and less alone. The message is clear and empowering-big feelings are okay, asking for help is brave, and every child's voice matters.
