Mia and the Missing Colours

When Mia wakes to find all the colours have vanished from her world, she sets out on a gentle, wonder-filled journey to bring them back. Each colour is hiding-Blue drifts far away, Red crackles with frustration, Yellow has lost its spark, Green curls up small-and Mia must remember what each one means to her to help them feel safe to return.

Drawing on evidence-based emotional literacy principles, Mia and the Missing Colours is a beautifully illustrated story that helps children notice, name, and understand their feelings. Through Mia's encounters with each colour, young readers learn that emotions aren't "good" or "bad"-they are clues, companions, and parts of us that need care.

Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, and calm corners, this heartfelt story gently supports children to:

• recognise and express emotions
• build confidence and self-awareness
• practise empathy and emotional regulation
• understand that feelings come and go - and each one has a purpose

Created by a psychologist and mum, Mia and the Missing Colours blends science, storytelling, and warmth to spark meaningful conversations about big feelings. A reassuring picture book for ages 4-8, ideal for homes, schools, and any child who sometimes feels overwhelmed by their inner world.
