The Lumi Listens Series

By Koerrea K. Bailey

A Project in Progress

The Lumi Listens Series is a gentle collection of children’s picture books designed to help young readers navigate big feelings, quiet moments, and emotional growth with confidence and care.

Through Lumi’s experiences, children are invited to slow down, listen inward, and discover that their thoughts, feelings, and questions matter. Each story explores a different emotional theme—change, responsibility, self-worth, courage, and calm—using soft language, comforting imagery, and age-appropriate mindfulness practices.

Rooted in real childhood experiences and written with intention, the Lumi Listens Series supports meaningful conversations between children and caregivers while honoring the imaginative and emotional worlds children naturally inhabit.

     The Lumi Listens Series includes:

• The Day My Imaginary Friend Got Quiet

• He Always Needs Me

• Lumi Learns She Is Enough

• Lumi and the Brave Question

• Lumi Finds Her Calm

Designed for children ages 4–8
Ideal for bedtime reading, classrooms, therapy settings, and family connections

Themes include emotional resilience, sibling bonds, inner listening, mindfulness, and self-trust
