Scared Skye is a gentle, empowering story about facing fear and finding courage. When a sudden storm and a flash of lightning send the animals running, Skye Squirrel finds himself caught in the rain, frightened and far from home. With deep breaths and determination, he learns how to calm his fear and make it safely back to his mother’s comforting arms.
This story is ideal for children ages 3–8 and offers a simple, relatable way to talk about fear, safety, and self-soothing techniques like breathing and staying focused.
Available as a standalone book or bundled with a gray tail for the My Emotion Squirrel plush, representing fear.
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!
