We create therapy-informed stories that help children turn big feelings into real-life skills. Through cozy, character-driven adventures and structured storytelling, we make social-emotional learning feel engaging, approachable, and easy to understand for young minds!

Learning emotional skills shouldn’t feel like worksheets and lectures—it should feel like play. When children are invited into a world of imagination, storytelling, and lovable characters, they’re more open, more curious, and more ready to absorb the tools they need to navigate real-life emotions.

Right now, we’re building something special behind the scenes—our very first book in the Howl to Human series. This story introduces readers to the campers of Little Cryptid Camp at Poplar Hollow, where kids learn practical communication and emotional skills alongside unforgettable cryptid friends. You may notice these characters throughout our site—this is the world they come from, and it’s just the beginning of what’s to come.

We’re preparing to bring this first book to life through an upcoming Kickstarter launch, where families, educators, and supporters will be able to help us turn this story into a printed, shareable experience for kids everywhere.

Alongside this series, we’ve also created The Okey Twins Visit the Eye Doctor, a children’s book designed to help kids feel confident and prepared for their first eye exam—because learning to navigate new experiences is just as important as learning to navigate emotions.

At Little Cryptid Compass, every story we create is built with intention: to give kids not just comfort, but tools they can actually use—long after the story ends.
