About Our Children’s Books
What are I Am Adventure Books about?
I Am Adventure Books creates meaningful children’s stories that help children better understand themselves and the world around them.
Through imaginative characters and layered storytelling, each book opens conversations about confidence, curiosity, imagination, mindfulness, emotional awareness, connection, and belonging.
Because the stories contain ideas children can return to as they grow, younger readers can enjoy the characters and adventure while older children discover deeper meaning within each book.
What ages are I Am Adventure Books for?
Hey Tree, What Should I Be? and Imagine A World are especially accessible to younger children, while the mindfulness and self-awareness concepts in Just Be offer additional depth for children ages 8–12.
Every child connects with stories differently. Parents, caregivers, teachers, and counselors can use the questions within each book to guide conversations at the child’s individual level.
Which book should we read first?
Each book can be enjoyed on its own, so there is no required reading order. You can begin with the question that feels most meaningful for your child right now:
-
Hey Tree, What Should I Be? — What makes me happy?
-
Imagine A World — What happens when I imagine?
-
Just Be — How do I find peace within myself?
Together, the stories create a connected journey through confidence, imagination, and mindfulness.
What is the I Am Adventure Books Journey?
The Journey connects each story to an important question children naturally begin asking as they grow.
The books help children explore who they are, how their thoughts and imagination shape their experiences, how they can find peace within themselves, and how they are connected to something bigger.
I Am The Drop & The Ocean, the fourth story in the Journey, is planned for release in fall 2026.
Until then, the available bundle includes the three currently published books.
What books are included in the 3-Book Bundle?
The I Am Adventure Books 3-Book Bundle includes:
-
Hey Tree, What Should I Be?
-
Imagine A World
-
Just Be
The bundle is currently available for U.S. orders placed directly through our website or international orders available through Amazon.
Are these books helpful for emotionally aware parenting?
Yes. The stories are written to create natural opportunities for meaningful conversations between children and the adults who care for them.
Rather than simply telling children what to think, the books invite them to notice their feelings, trust their curiosity, explore their imagination, become aware of their thoughts, and discover their own inner wisdom.
The stories you read become part of your child’s inner voice. Our purpose is to help make that voice confident, compassionate, curious, and kind.

Parents, Educators, and Community Partners
Can parents and educators use these books to begin deeper conversations?
Yes. Each story is designed to be enjoyed as a children’s book while also opening space for reflection and conversation.
Parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors, and caregivers can use the stories to explore topics such as:
-
Confidence and self-trust
-
Curiosity and personal growth
-
Imagination and creativity
-
Mindfulness and self-awareness
-
Empathy and compassion
-
Connection and belonging
There is no single “right” conversation to have. The questions children ask—and the ideas they notice—are part of the journey.
Do you offer free activities or educational resources?
Yes. Our Workshops page includes free children’s book activities, printable worksheets, coloring pages, discussion resources, and other materials inspired by the books.
