About the Book

From the bestselling The Colour Monster series, Anna Llenas returns with a deeply thoughtful picture book that explores the themes of consent, emotional awareness, and mental wellbeing—tailored especially for young readers.

In this latest story, Nuna finds herself in a situation where she doesn’t know how to say “no,” leaving her feeling uncomfortable and confused. Seeking help, she turns to her friend, the Colour Monster—now a wise emotional doctor—who introduces her to a special emotions toolkit designed to help children process and regulate their feelings.

Through expressive artwork and engaging fold-out pages, children are guided through calming strategies such as deep breathing, art activities, bubble blowing, and dancing, all aimed at helping them understand and cope with big emotions. As Nuna explores these tools, she gradually gains the confidence to express herself and begin the important conversation about what’s really troubling her.

Blending art therapy techniques with a gentle storytelling approach, Anna Llenas creates an age-appropriate, supportive space for discussing sensitive topics like consent and emotional boundaries. This beautifully illustrated book serves not only as a healing journey for Nuna, but also as a practical conversation starter for parents, teachers, and caregivers.

Perfect for fans of The Colour Monster, The Colour Monster Goes to School, and Don’t Hug Doug, this book empowers children with emotional vocabulary and healthy coping mechanisms—making it a valuable addition to any child’s library.
