Storm Rain Sky
About The Book
Whether a child is feeling sunny, cloudy, stormy, or somewhere in between, this book gently teaches: Your emotions are part of you. No matter what the emotional weather is inside of you, you get to feel them, speak to them, and learn from them. And you never have to face them alone.
A One-of-a-Kind Children's Book for the Whole Family
What’s the Weather Inside of You? is not your typical children’s book. It’s a heart-centered, interactive resource, designed to help children and families explore the full spectrum of emotions—from sadness and anxiety to joy, peace, and most of all, love.
This almost 50-page treasure combines:
- Psychoeducation about feelings in a way children can truly understand
- Real-life stories from the authors—a mother and her daughters navigating big emotions together
- Grounding activities and conversation prompts that open the door to healing
- Affirmations to build self-trust and emotional confidence
- Momma's clinical wisdom as a bonus - in-home, readily available therapy session at your fingertips
- Tools for both kids and grownups—because feelings don’t come with age limits
Kadian's (Momma Storm's) background as a licensed mental health clinician, mother of three (2 littles and a big), allows her to offer not only professional insights, family-tested wisdom but also a whole lot of love. It's part story, part workbook, part heart-to-heart—meant to be read, reread, talked about, and lived in.
Whether you are feeling sunny or stormy, What’s the Weather Inside of You? is here to help your family feel it all, name it all, and grow closer through it all. ("Buy now and Peek inside!")

Our Mission & Vision
Our Vision
We believe that every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and understood—no matter what emotional "weather" is inside of them. What’s the Weather Inside of You? was created to help families talk openly about feelings like sadness, anxiety, boredom, and joy in ways children can understand and trust. This story is a bridge: between parent and child, between emotion and understanding, and between the weather inside and the steady love that holds it all.
How This Book Will Transform the Reader
This book will shift how children and their grown-ups understand their emotions. Readers will come away with:
- Language for their feelings: Through simple, playful storytelling and the weather metaphor, children will begin to name what they feel and talk through it with love.
- Confidence to express ALL their feelings, even the big ones: Momma Storm, Rain and Sky move through joy, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, joy, anger, and peace- children will feel seen and empowered to share what’s true for them.
- Tools for emotional regulation: The steady presence of Momma Storm, who lovingly helps her daughters Rain and Sky navigate all their emotions, shows readers what it means to return to peace—on the inside and outside.
- A deeper connection with others: Families, therapy sessions and classrooms will find this story opens up powerful conversations not only about emotion but also empathy and feeling emotional safety with one another.
Whether a child is feeling sunny, cloudy, stormy, or somewhere in between, this book gently teaches: Your emotions are part of you. No matter what the emotional weather is inside of you, you get to feel them, speak to them, and learn from them. And you never have to face them alone.
Ages
For 6-year-olds, the story’s simple language, emotional rhythm, and playful repetition make it easy to follow and deeply engaging. The weather metaphor—alongside Sky’s joy and calming moments—connects with their imagination and natural emotional flow.
For 8-year-olds, the deeper layers—like emotional regulation, empathy, and how Momma Storm helps bring peace during conflict—resonate with their growing emotional awareness. The story gently introduces the idea that there’s more to feelings than just happy or sad.
Whether you’re six or sixty-six, this story reminds us: Feelings—like weather—don’t need permission to come or go. But we can learn to meet them with love.
