Envious Skye helps children understand a tricky but common emotion: envy. When Skye Squirrel notices that his friends are giving all their attention to someone new, his tail turns green—and he doesn’t like the way it makes him feel. With help from wise Hooty Owl, Skye learns that envy is okay to feel, and that using coping skills and asking the right questions can help those feelings pass.
This gentle story is ideal for children ages 3–8 and opens up healthy conversations about feeling left out, comparing ourselves to others, and choosing empathy instead.
Available as a standalone book or bundled with a green tail for the My Emotion Squirrel plush, representing envy.
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!
