There's a Rainbow in My Heart: You don't have to explain your feelings. It's okay just to feel them.

Book Description

Some days, you wish someone could understand you-without asking questions.
Some feelings feel too small to name, but they still matter.
This gentle picture book helps children explore their feelings
through the quiet language of color.

As we follow three stories where green, yellow, and purple appear, fade, or linger,
children begin to see how their emotions live and breathe inside them-
and that every feeling, no matter how small or silent, deserves a place.
While your child listens or reads,
they may begin to notice the garden growing quietly in their own heart.
And grown-ups?
You'll be surprised how many colors are waiting inside you too.

Story Summaries

1. There's a Rainbow in My Heart

One day, after saying "I'm okay" too many times,
the green in a child's heart quietly disappears.
Momo, a gentle heart gardener, stays nearby - without pushing, without fixing.
And one day, a tiny green sprout begins to grow.

2. When Yellow Stopped

Joyful memories seem to freeze,
and the yellow feeling in the heart becomes quiet and still.
Momo brings back the memories of laughter and light,
until the yellow slowly begins to shine again.

3. Where Purple Stayed

Sadness doesn't always want to be solved.
It just wants company.
Momo stays beside a purple space in the heart,
and something quiet and beautiful begins to bloom there.

A Note to the Reader

This book doesn't tell children what to feel.
Instead, it quietly reminds them:
Your feelings aren't wrong. They're real. They belong.
Sometimes, it's hard to tell what your child is feeling.
That's okay.
You don't have to explain everything, or fix everything.
Just open this book together.
Let it be a quiet space where feelings can rest,
and hearts can breathe.
And to all the parents and caregivers reading-
sometimes, all your child needs is for you to be there.
That's more than enough.
