More than a story

The Inner Clue Detectives is a playful, interactive picture book that helps children become curious about the signals coming from inside their body—their inner clues. 

Through a fun detective adventure, children are supported to:

✓ Notice everyday body clues before feelings become overwhelming 

✓ Explore what the body might be communicating 

✓ Build body awareness through curiosity and connection 

✓ Discover practical tools that may help their body  Created with a body-first, co-regulation approach that is neuroaffirming and trauma-informed. 

⸻

Why this book is different:

Before children can understand and respond to emotions, they first need opportunities to notice what is happening inside their body.  Rather than starting with emotions, The Inner Clue Detectives™ starts with the body: 

What do you notice? What might your body be telling you? What could help?

This introduces interoception in a playful, practical and neuroaffirming way, while supporting co-regulation with a trusted adult.
