The Little Ladybug Who Tried to Say Hello — Helping kids build social skills and emotional connection

A little ladybug wants to say hello to the ants below her leaf… but she doesn’t know how.
She practices, whispers, and almost gives up — until one ant waves back.

What follows is a simple, tender story about kindness, sharing, and finding connection in small moments.

This beautifully illustrated storybook (PDF format) was created especially for children who learn and connect differently — those who might need extra time, reassurance, or quiet encouragement in social settings.

I made this story with vivid colors to catch children’s attention — especially for kids who get bored easily or find it hard to focus.
The words are simple and the events are familiar, so children can easily follow along and see themselves in the story.

As a mom, I see how my own son wants to be around other kids.
He asks to go to the playground, but often just sits on the swing — not joining in, but not wanting to leave either.
I’m teaching him to say hello back when someone greets him.
It’s slow, gentle progress — and that’s what inspired this book.

I wrote The Little Ladybug Who Tried to Say Hello for him — and for every child who wants to connect in their own quiet, beautiful way.

You don’t need perfect.
You just need possible.
