What Is a Companion Guide?

Companion guides are thoughtfully designed resources that extend each story into meaningful conversations, reflective moments, and family-building activities.

Guided Conversations

Chapter-by-chapter questions that help caregivers explore the story's themes with children in age-appropriate, emotionally safe ways.

Emotional Validation

Language frameworks that help adults acknowledge children's feelings without rushing to fix them — modeling safety through presence.

Connection Activities

Hands-on prompts and activities that bring families closer — designed to be gentle, flexible, and adaptable to each child's needs.

Caregiver Support

Guidance for parents, foster caregivers, and adoptive families on supporting children through transitions with patience and love.

Educator Resources

Classroom-ready discussion guides and activities for teachers integrating social-emotional learning into their reading programs.

Counselor Tools

Therapeutic prompts and frameworks for counselors and social workers supporting children and families through adoption, grief, and attachment.
