Feeling Safer in Unsafe Times: A Bilingual Therapeutic Coloring Book

A calming coloring book for ages 3–8 that helps children explore big feelings when the world feels confusing or frightening, using gentle prompts and relatable scenes to spark conversation with trusted adults.

Feeling Safer in Unsafe Times: A Bilingual Therapeutic Coloring Book is a gentle, supportive tool for children ages 3–8 to talk about and express big feelings after confusing or frightening experiences.
Through ten illustrated, real-life–inspired scenarios, children are invited to color while reflecting on two simple questions: What do you feel? and What can you do? These prompts help children name their feelings and consider small, manageable ways to cope—while giving adults a way to listen and reassure. Presented in both English and Spanish, it’s designed to support conversations
across languages.
Written by an experienced veteran child psychologist, this book provides a creative space for children to process difficult experiences and begin to feel safer.
