The Family Compass Kit

The Ember Compass gives your child a language for their feelings — through adventure, through magic, and through a compass that asks questions instead of giving directions.

The Reading Companion gives you the same language. The research behind it. The words to use in the hard moments. And the questions to ask alongside your child that turn a story into a practice you both carry.

This is not a book with supplementary materials. It is a shared experience designed for both of you — one that works in the car, at bedtime, and in the minutes after something goes sideways.

What you receive:

One signed copy of The Ember Compass — hand-illustrated chapter novel for readers aged 6–12, personally signed and shipped to your door.

One digital PDF of The Ember Compass Reading Companion Toolkit — delivered instantly by email. Chapter-by-chapter reflections in three voices: for the child, for the caregiver, and together. The research behind the framework. What feelings actually need from the adults around them. The Compass Code in daily family practice. Print as many times as you need.

The book teaches Casey that feelings happen for us, not to us.
The Reading Companion teaches grown-ups the same thing.

A note on how to use this kit

Read the Reading Companion first — before you open the book with your child. Not because the story needs preparation. It doesn't. But you can be more present in it if you know what is coming. That presence is everything.
