Gentle tools for little hearts.

Mindful stories and simple tools to help children understand big feelings, find calm and grow with confidence.

Growing little humans comes with big feelings.

Root & Rise Family was created to bring gentle, practical tools into everyday family life, through stories children can connect with and simple practices they can try for themselves.

Big feelings don't always need fixing. Sometimes they just need a little space, a little understanding, and a way through.

Behind Root & Rise

The heart behind the stories.

Hi I'm Emi - a mum of two and the heart behind Root & Rise Family.

Root & Rise grew from the love for gentle, practical ways to help children navigate feelings that come with growing up. Through Zoey's stories I hope to create little moments of connection and simple tools children can carry with them into everyday.

Let’s connect.

Have a question about the books, a collaboration in mind, or simply want to say hello? I’d love to hear from you.
