I Just Keep Looking Up is a gentle and uplifting picture book that introduces children to a simple, lifelong practice of remembering the feelings that help them reconnect with themselves.
Through beautiful illustrations and soothing storytelling, a young girl discovers joy in sunshine, blue skies, fluffy clouds, butterflies, and peaceful moments in nature. When sad, scary, or frustrating feelings appear, she learns to pause, breathe, and remembers a feeling that helps her feel good again. As she reconnects with that feeling, her body begins to settle, allowing clarity, confidence, and hope to gently emerge.
Thoughtfully written to support emotional awareness, self-regulation, mindfulness, and healthy emotional development, I Just Keep Looking Up invites children to practice recognizing supportive feelings they can return to throughout their lives. More than a story, it offers a simple, repeatable practice that can be used at home, in classrooms, counseling settings, libraries, children's ministries, and community programs.
Perfect for parents, caregivers, educators, counselors, and youth leaders, I Just Keep Looking Up offers children a comforting practice they can return to whenever difficult feelings arise. By remembering the feeling and reconnecting with themselves children discover they can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and inner knowing.
