Krizzy and the Fireflies: A Book About Feeling the Feels

Sometimes the bravest thing a child can do is cry.

Krizzy tries very hard to be brave when the lights go out and the house becomes quiet. She doesn’t want to wake her tired parents, so she pulls the blankets close and tries to hold her feelings inside.

But one night, when a tear finally slips down her cheek, something magical happens.

Her tear turns into a tiny glowing firefly.

Soon the room fills with gentle lights, and Krizzy discovers something wonderful: sometimes tears can transform into something beautiful that helps brighten the dark.

Krizzy and the Fireflies is a comforting bedtime story that helps children understand that it’s okay to cry and that feelings are a natural part of being human.

Part of the Feeling the Feels series, this heartwarming picture book invites children and caregivers to talk about emotions, bravery, and the courage it takes to let feelings come out.

Perfect for children ages 4–8, families, classrooms, and anyone learning that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply feel the feels.

Includes gentle discussion questions to help children explore their emotions.
