If your child has meltdowns, gets loud, or struggles with friendships, this story will change how you both understand those moments.
Moosey Caboosey is a fun, heartwarming rhyming story about a lovable moose with big feelings.
Moosey is kind, playful, and full of energy, but sometimes his emotions get so big that they come out loud, fast, and overwhelming. And when that happens, friendships can feel confusing.
Not because he's "bad"...but because he doesn't yet know what to do with what he feels.
This gentle, engaging story helps children understand emotional regulation in a way that feels safe, relatable, and empowering.
Perfect for kids who:
- Experience big emotions or emotional outbursts
- Are navigating ADHD or neurodivergent traits
- Struggle with friendships or social understanding
- Need support with self-regulation and empathy
Through rhythm, repetition, and a lovable character, Moosey Caboosey helps children:
- Recognize their feelings without shame
- Understand how their behavior affects others
- Build emotional awareness and connection
- See that they are not alone, and not "too much"
It also offers a powerful perspective for peers, siblings, and classmates, helping them shift from:
"What's wrong with you?"
to:
"I get it. I'm here."
A meaningful resource for parents, teachers, counselors, and caregivers, this story supports social-emotional learning (SEL), ADHD awareness, and neurodivergent inclusion-all through a story children will want to read again and again.
