Little stories. Big feelings. Beautiful discoveries.
Stories to help little minds navigate a big world.
Welcome to Emily Ashton Books
a world where imagination meets emotional wellbeing,
and every story is an opportunity to grow.
Through heartfelt storytelling, lovable characters and a little bit
of magic, Emily creates children’s books that explore big feelings,
tricky thoughts and the wonderful experience of being human.
Because sometimes, the smallest stories
can make the biggest difference.
Welcome to My World
Where stories nurture little minds.
Childhood is full of wonderful discoveries, big adventures and sometimes, some pretty big feelings.
But understanding our thoughts, managing our emotions and learning to be kind to ourselves isn’t always easy — even for grown-ups!
That’s where stories come in.
At Emily Ashton Books, we believe stories can be more than entertainment. They can open conversations, spark curiosity, build understanding and give children the language to explore what’s happening inside their minds.
Each book is thoughtfully created to introduce meaningful life skills through gentle storytelling, relatable characters and imaginative adventures.
No lectures. No complicated explanations. Just beautiful stories with a little something extra tucked between the pages.
Mia and the thought bugs
When difficult thoughts begin buzzing through Mia’s mind, she discovers the strange little Thought Bugs — and learns that thoughts are visitors, not who she is. A warm, beautifully illustrated story about thoughts, feelings, mindfulness, self-esteem and learning to let difficult thoughts pass.
A thoughtful picture book for starting conversations about:
• difficult and intrusive thoughts
• emotions and feelings
• self-esteem and self-worth
• mindfulness and emotional awareness
• letting thoughts come and go
• building a kinder relationship with our minds

Mia and the thought bugs: Activity Book
Inspired by Mia and the Thought Bugs, this fun and engaging activity book helps children explore their thoughts, understand their feelings and discover that they are so much more than what their minds tell them.
Filled with creative worksheets, drawing activities, mindfulness exercises and gentle reflection prompts, children will learn to recognise unhelpful thoughts, practise letting them come and go, and build confidence, self-awareness and emotional resilience.
Because thoughts can come, thoughts can buzz, and thoughts can pass. You are not your thoughts. You are so much more.
