Emotional literacy
Naming and understanding big feelings, with gentle, practical ways to cope.
FOR EDUCATORS
For teachers, librarians & home educators
The Lina books are proper adventures first — but they’re written to support what teachers, librarians and parents care about: emotional literacy, confidence, kindness and a love of reading. They’re gentle, read‑aloud‑ready, written in clear British English, and made for children aged 4 to 8.
What the books support
A little quiet learning, inside the adventure
Confidence & speaking up
Characters who ask questions, make brave choices, and find their voice.
Friendship & empathy
Making friends, mending squabbles, and noticing how other people feel.
Supporting shy or anxious children
Relatable characters who start out unsure and slowly find their place.
Every family on the shelf
Diverse families and backgrounds, so every child can see themselves — and meet a wider world.
Language & curiosity
A multilingual world (English, French, German) and questions about how the world works.
These map naturally onto PSHE and social‑emotional learning, EYFS and Key Stage 1, and EAL.
Comes with every order
A teaching bundle with your books
Order the books direct and the companion bundle comes with them — print‑first, screen‑sensible, and in British English. It’s the part Amazon can’t give you.
Activity packs
Colouring, puzzles and gentle activities tied to each book.
Read-aloud guides
A little help with pacing, voices, and the feelings to pause on.
Discussion prompts
Simple questions to open up the big feelings and ideas afterwards.
Signed copies and class sets available. Postage added for direct orders.
Why it matters
Made in British English
So much online material for young readers leans heavily towards American English. The Lina books and their resources are written in clear British English — for UK classrooms following EYFS and Key Stage 1, and for international and home‑educating families who’d like their children to keep their British English.
Everything is designed to be print‑first and screen‑free, so a story or an activity can happen at a table, on a rug, or in a book corner — no devices required.
Class sets, signed copies & inclusive shelves
I can supply the books direct to schools and libraries — class sets, signed copies, or a title or two for an inclusive bookshelf. Get in touch and we’ll sort it out.
