My Emotion Squirrel is more than just a plush. It’s a soft, comforting friend designed to help children ages 3 and older understand, express, and manage their emotions in a playful, hands-on way.
With a huggable 12-inch body and an interchangeable tail, this soft cuddly squirrel invites children to name their plush and choose a tail color that matches how they feel. Whether they’re feeling happy, sad, anxious, angry, or proud, My Emotion Squirrel offers a simple, visual way to share emotions—especially when words are hard to find.
Each plush comes with a white tail and is compatible with all Skye Squirrel emotion tails. Children can collect additional tails—each representing a different feeling—through Skye Squirrel book sets and gift packs, creating a growing toolkit for emotional awareness.
Ideal for:
Emotional check-ins at home, in the classroom, or in counseling
Bedtime reflection and storytime bonding
Supporting SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) in early childhood
My Emotion Squirrel encourages emotional awareness, vocabulary development, and meaningful conversations between children and the adults who support them.

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!
