Product Description

Join these baby turtles on their journey to the sea! On the way they experience distractions and dangers and have to learn what is safe and unsafe in their environment, and how rules are in place to keep them safe. They have to overcome the “want to do”; fun things in order to do what they “have to”; to get to the sea safely.

The idea for this story came from one of the authors being in a therapy session with a child, thinking “I wish I had a resource to help teach this lesson,” so we created one that can be used to help little ones learn this important lesson in the future!

This book is best used for:

  • children ages 2 – 6
  • children preparing to start the new school year
  • parents needing supportive ways to talk about rules and safety
  • parents needing supportive ways to talk about the difference between “want to”; and “have to”;
  • therapists, counselors, and teachers in search of supportive material

Our books are never intended to replace therapy guidance from licensed professionals. If you are concerned that your child is experiencing worrying signs, we urge you to reach out to a provider for help.
About The Brand

Meet Amanda & Kim — The Heart Behind Little Loving Lessons

Amanda and Kim are the compassionate creators behind Little Loving Lessons, a collection of children’s books that tenderly teach kids about big feelings, tough topics, and how to navigate the world with empathy. With backgrounds in behavioral health and education, the duo brings real-world experience and deep care to every page they write.

Amanda, a behavioral therapist who works with children and families, saw firsthand the lack of gentle, accessible resources to explain complex emotions and social issues. Kim, a seasoned educator and storyteller, shared that vision—and together, they began creating the books they wished had existed sooner.

Their stories are more than just picture books—they’re tools for connection, understanding, and healing. Whether it’s navigating grief, celebrating differences, or managing anxiety, Amanda and Kim are helping grown-ups open important conversations with the little ones they love most.

Each book is a little loving lesson—written with heart, guided by expertise, and built to last long after storytime ends.
