Trouble Markers

Big feelings can be hard for young children to explain. Frustration, fear, sadness, jealousy, and anger can all come spilling out at once-leaving kids overwhelmed and parents wondering how to help.

In The Trouble Markers and the Mind's Graffiti, the Trouble Markers escape and fill Marker Box's mind with colorful, scribbly chaos. With help from Magic Mindful Marker, readers meet each Trouble Marker, uncover the feeling it represents, discover a positive trait, search for hidden numbers in the graffiti, and take a Superpower Breath to help bring calm back.

This interactive read-aloud blends emotional learning, rhyme, colorful characters, seek-and-find fun, counting, and simple breathing moments into one playful experience families can enjoy together.
