Me and Bree: Adventures in Brainland Pre-Order

A heartwarming adventure that helps children understand their feelings, calm their minds, and discover their inner courage.

When Luna Spark’s world turns upside down after the Big Bad Change, her once-bright days fill with storms of worry and waves of sadness. That’s when she meets Bree—the chatty, pink, clipboard-carrying guide who just happens to be her brain. Together, they set off on an unforgettable journey through Brainland, a dazzling world where thoughts sparkle, memories float, and feelings come alive.

Along the way, Luna meets some unforgettable characters:
🌪 Amy the amygdala, a frantic squirrel who sounds the panic alarm.
🌊 The Wise Walrus, who teaches her the power of breathing to calm her body.
💭 The Glitch Gremlins, who twist her thoughts until she learns how to talk back.
💡 And her loyal guide Bree, who helps her see that she was brave all along.

Through the winding forests, calm caves, tornado tunnels, and glowing mountains of Brainland, Luna learns how her mind, body, and feelings work together—and that even when life feels messy or scary, she’s never truly alone.

By the end of her adventure, Luna discovers something magical:
Her courage doesn’t mean never feeling scared.
It means being just a little braver than yesterday.
