Description
Five diverse kids discover a magical hallway filled with doors, each with a unique doorknob. Behind every door lives a different part – the protective voices inside us that show up when we need them. Some parts get prickly to keep people away. Others hide. Some perform or caretake or freeze. The story invites children to meet these parts as characters they can get to know, talk to, and understand. It’s based on Internal Family Systems therapy, but you don’t need to know the framework to use it. The book simply shows kids that all their parts have a job, and all of them belong.
The book works best for ages 6-10, but we’ve heard from parents who read it with younger kids (around 4-5) and older ones (up to 12) depending on the child. Younger children connect with the colorful characters and magical setting. Older kids appreciate the deeper emotional concepts. If your child is curious about feelings or struggling to name what’s happening inside, the book meets them where they are.
