Do you ever feel that way too?

Sometimes you are super happy… and then suddenly angry, scared, or sad. And sometimes you feel everything at once, so much that your head just won't quiet down! Nova knows that feeling well.

One day he discovers something special: inside himself is an entire world full of emotions and feelings. This is the magical inner world, and you have one too!

Jump along with Nova on clouds, meet the funny (and a little bit scary) What-If-Monsters and Thoughties, and watch as worry-butterflies flutter around you. Together, you will find the beautiful Glow Tree, which shines when you feel good.

But then something unexpected happens! The Glow Tree starts to slowly lose its light… What is going on? Will Nova manage to make the Glow Tree shine again?

Come along on an adventure and discover your own magical inner world!

About the children's book series Nova & Lumi

More and more children are growing up in a world full of stimuli, speed, and expectations. For many children, it is difficult to put into words what is happening inside. A head that just keeps going, tension before an important event, uncertainty, or thoughts that grow bigger than they want. With Nova and Lumi, Charlotte Labee wants to help children better understand their feelings and find the language for their own inner world.

A book for children, parents, and teachers

In addition to the stories, every chapter contains a Golden Moment: a short mindfulness exercise with which children learn to feel what is living inside and to calm down together. The accompanying Golden Questions help to start a conversation together: to talk about the story, the feeling, and their own inner world. Not by immediately looking for answers or solutions, but by simply being present and making a connection. In this way, reading aloud becomes not just a rushed bedtime ritual, but a moment of real connection between parent and child.

Nova and Lumi forms the first part of a book line in which stories, awareness, and practical exercises come together. Featuring recognizable characters: the What-If-Monster, Thoughties, and worry-butterflies. Nova and Lumi is a magical story series for children aged 6 to 8. And for parents who don't just want to read a story, but who really want to get to know their child, feeling by feeling.
