Annoyed Skye helps children recognize and manage one of the most common emotions they face in social situations—annoyance. When Skye’s cousin Snippity comes to visit and can’t stop bragging or criticizing others, Skye’s tail turns red with frustration. But as the day unfolds, Skye learns that sometimes annoying behavior hides other feelings—and that understanding and empathy can help everyone feel more connected.
Ideal for children ages 3–8, this story encourages emotional awareness, communication, and patience with others—even when feelings get prickly.
Available as a standalone book or bundled with a light red tail for the My Emotion Squirrel plush, representing annoyance.
As a therapist, Skye Squirrel has been a great interactive tool. Kids are able to learn about and identify different emotions. The changing of Skye Squirrel’s tails keeps them excited, engaged, and involved.

I am an elementary school teacher, and this is a great book to address blindness with my students. It is very kid-friendly. It teaches a great lesson about having compassion and accepting others.

An inspirational story with a message that my family and I will remember for a long time. Great storytelling of a sensitive subject. I highly recommend it!

Grief feels like someone has left you and can be confusing to young children. This story communicates wonderfully that all emotions are okay to feel.

My 10 yr old was struggling one day, and I teasingly told her she needed Annoyed Skye, which lit up her face. She ran and got her My Emotion Squirrel with his “annoyed” tail and gave it a big hug!
