Why Leo's stories help children with big feelings

Leo is a sensitive, spirited lion cub who feels everything very deeply. Through his adventures, your child sees their own big feelings reflected in a safe, gentle way – with parents who stay loving and present, even when things get loud or overwhelming. You can read the stories yourself or press play on the calm voice narration when you're exhausted.

  • Calm big feelings with simple, repeatable tools.
  • Help strong-willed kids feel seen instead of "too much".
  • Turn bedtime battles into moments of connection.
  • Use stories, not lectures, to teach emotional skills.
  • Support gentle parenting with easy, everyday language.
  • Let the soothing narration support you on extra tired days.

Quick questions

What ages are your stories for?

Most books are created for children roughly between 3 and 7 years old, but many parents also use them with slightly older siblings as a gentle starting point.

Are your products digital or physical?

Right now, our books and tools are digital (PDF + flipbook + video). You can read on any device, print at home or press play on the narrated version.

Do your stories include audio / narration?

Yes. Many stories include a soothing voice reading the book as a video, so you can let your child listen and watch the pages turn, especially on evenings when you feel extra tired.

Do I need to be a "perfect gentle parent"?

No. Gentle Moms Club is built for real humans, not perfect robots. Our stories support repair, not perfection. You can start exactly where you are.

Is my data safe?

We follow GDPR-friendly practices and only collect the data needed to process your orders and send the resources you ask for. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
