Books that nurture emotional growth, courage, and connection.

Supporting emotional literacy through storytelling 

Hi, I'm Sally Riley - Author of Little Soul Series and creator of My Little Book.

For over 26 years, I have worked with children, families and individuals as a life coach and mentor, helping people navigate emotions, resilience, grief, confidence, self-worth, and personal growth. Through that work, I saw something important.

Many children and teens struggle to explain what they are feeling before they have the words to express or understand it.

That realization inspired me to begin writing children's books that help young readers feel seen, safe, understood, and emotionally supported.

The Little Soul Series was created to open meaningful conversations between children, parents, educators, counsellors, and caregivers. Each story gently explores emotional awareness, courage, identity, intuition, self-trust, emotional regulation, grief, and inner resilience in a way that is accessible for children ages 3-7

As My Little Book has grown, so has the age range I write for.

My Brain Won't Stop Talking was created for older kids and teens ages 10-16 who experience worry, overthinking and busy thoughts. It continues the same purpose behind all of my books - helping young people feel understood, supported and less alone in what they're experiencing.

My books are designed to:

• encourage emotional literacy
• support classroom and home discussions
• help children identify and express feelings
• build confidence and empathy
• create calm, connected reading experiences
