In this episode, I chat with my cousin Denyse, the illustrator of the Caring Critters series, about the impact of Felipe the Feeling Frog and our new character, Trixie the Thoughtful Turtle. We discuss fostering social-emotional skills like decision-making through positive language and reflect on the joy of children’s artistic responses to our work. Denyse shares her vision for Trixie as a character that challenges stereotypes while promoting playful learning. Join us as we explore the importance of storytelling in early childhood education and inspire meaningful connections between parents, teachers, and children.
