About
Fables and Feelings was born from the desire to help every child feel seen, understood, and emotionally strong.
From Motherhood to Mission
As a mother of five, I always placed a strong emphasis on academics—reading, writing, math.
My children were thriving in school, but I started to notice something deeper: emotional struggles, social hesitations, and quiet signs of stress that grades and test scores didn’t reflect.
When I reached out for guidance, I was often told, “They’re doing great!”—but I knew there was more beneath the surface. That realization led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Special Education and immerse myself in classrooms and one-on-one support.
Through that journey, I discovered the power of stories as a safe, effective way to teach kids emotional intelligence. That insight became Fables and Feelings—an app that uses storytelling to build the social-emotional skills every child needs to thrive.
Our Mission
Why We Do This
To help children develop core SEL skills in a gentle, joyful way
To support parents and educators in understanding and guiding emotional growth
To use storytelling as a mirror, so children feel safe learning from others’ experiences
To make emotional learning as natural and engaging as reading a bedtime story
Our Vision
What We Hope to Build
We envision a world where SEL is not a separate subject, but part of everyday learning. Where every child—not just those in crisis—has tools for emotional strength. And where schools, homes, and communities are united in raising kind, resilient, and confident young people.
“Reading aloud is a form of nurturing. It helps regulate emotions and builds security and trust.
