I read the books at home with my children (age 3 and 5) and we integrate the content into our everyday lives. This has made many situations much easier for me because we were able to discuss them together. I wholeheartedly recommend this to all parents!
The Wishbeings and Lara have become an integral part of the lives of many of our friends and their children. I have given the book away so many times that I have lost count. Children come into contact with their emotional world in a playful way.
A very beautiful and lovingly designed book that gives children (of kindergarten and elementary school age) easy and understandable access to the topic of needs.
Finally, a book that addresses topics that concern us adults in a way that children enjoy!
A playful introduction to the world of emotions! Thanks to this book, my godchild's feelings have become easier to discuss in a playful way.
The book manages to convey a topic that is often challenging even for adults, observing our emotions and understanding the underlying needs, in a way that is easy to understand and incredibly well illustrated.

What Experts Are Saying
This deeply impressive book is a wonderful gift for your child's future, but perhaps also for the future of us all.
As someone who teaches emotional intelligence, and as a parent who’s lived through plenty of meltdowns, I love how Lara and Her Protector translates complex science into playful wisdom.
This book is a beacon of hope for the next generation. Ideal for parents and teachers who dream of a more compassionate world.
A lovingly illustrated children’s book for kindergartens, primary schools and families - designed to gently nurture compassion, listening and mutual understanding, and to make our world a little brighter
An inspiring guide to the inner skills our world needs most: understanding ourselves by truly understanding one another.
Perceiving feelings, learning to understand their causes, and communicating and acting nonviolently is the basis for successful relationships and connectedness. The fact that children are allowed to practice this early on gives us hope.
Very well-founded with great tips for everyday life. An essential book on raising children!
An important message told in a wonderful way. Highly recommended!
I hope that many young readers will learn from Lara to trust in their inner strength.
About the Author
Why do I write these children's books?
I want children and parents to have early access to important topics such as feelings, emotions, nonviolent communication and empathy. The Lara books are my contribution to a more mindful and peaceful world.
What do these stories have to do with me?
I have been working as a personal development coach for many years and share this knowledge in workshops and training courses. I wanted to formulate these concepts in such a simple way that everyone could easily understand them.
