Averie Lynn, My Best Friend
Welcome to Ah-Tumble a land where magic and self-discovery intertwine,
and universal truths gently unfold.
The stories we share plant the seeds of self-worth
In a world that moves fast and grows louder by the day, parents face a powerful challenge: how do we teach our children to stay grounded, know their worth, and navigate life with clarity and compassion?
Averie Lynn, My Best Friend was created to help answer that question.
Why use a story-based tool for teaching emotional strength
Raising emotionally resilient kids starts early—long before they can explain how they feel.
I intentionally crafted Averie Lynn, My Best Friend because most children’s books focus on behavior. I wanted to go deeper—to help my daughter understand her thoughts, know her worth, and stay grounded, even when life feels messy.
Each book is thoughtfully written with certain words shown to calm the nervous system and support healthy development.
The stories use rhythm and gentle repetition—meeting kids where they are and making big ideas easy to remember and carry with them.
