Tuli's Too-Full Bucket

Tuli's bucket has been filling up all day long — a little worry here, a little frustration there — and she doesn't know why she suddenly feels so overwhelmed. With Koko and Lulu by her side, Tuli discovers what's really going on inside, one drop at a time.

For Grown-Ups

Little bodies can hold very big feelings.

Behind a hard moment there may be worry, sensory overload, exhaustion, hunger, a tricky transition — or simply too much happening at once. TuliTown helps families get curious about what's underneath the behavior.

Every book pairs with a short, practical parent guide — so you always know what's happening, why it happens, and what to try next.

Meet the Friends

The neighbors of TuliTown

A few familiar faces you'll meet again and again on Maple Way.

Tuli sitting cross-legged with her chin resting on her hands, smiling warmly in her yellow heart shirt.

Tuli

Your guide to TuliTown

"Hi! I'm Tuli. Sometimes my feelings get really big. I'm learning what helps — and I'd love for you to learn with me."

Koko, a playful puppy with brown patches and a blue collar with a K tag, tail wagging.

Koko

Loyal & always close by

"Koko is my puppy. He's silly, loyal, and very good at staying close when big feelings show up."

Lulu, a cheerful small butterfly with pink heart-shaped wings and a mint and coral striped body, arms raised happily.

Lulu

Small but so encouraging

"Lulu is our tiny butterfly friend. She's small, but her heart is big — and she flutters by whenever we need a little encouragement."

Niko, a young boy with brown hair wearing a teal hoodie over a striped shirt and jeans.

Niko

Tuli's little brother

"Hi, I'm Niko! I'm still learning about big feelings too. Tuli, Koko, and Lulu help me feel brave when things feel like a lot."

Mom, a woman with curly brown hair in a bun, wearing a cream sweater and jeans.

Mom

Steady & always nearby

"I'm right here to help you find calm — one breath, one hug, one moment at a time. There's no rush."

Dad, a man with short brown hair and a beard, wearing a blue henley shirt and khaki pants.

Dad

Warm & wonderfully patient

"Big feelings are always welcome around here. We'll sit with them together, for as long as it takes."

Calm Corner

Welcome to the Calm Corner.

A quiet place to reset. Let's find something that might help your body feel a little more comfortable — a breath, a squeeze, a soft place to sit.

Grown-ups: try these together on a calm day first. Practice makes them easier to reach for on a hard day.

A cozy calm-down corner with a green beanbag chair, a teddy bear, a basket of squishy sensory balls, calm-down jars, a soft rug and cushion, picture books, and twinkle lights.

Breathe with Lulu

Watch Lulu grow as you breathe in, and shrink as you breathe out.

Ready when you are.

What might help right now?

Pick one. There's no wrong choice.

    Tuli Teaches: Feelings aren't emergencies. Calm grows a little every time we practice.

    The TuliTown family crossing Maple Way together: Dad holding Niko's hand, Mom holding Tuli's hand, Tuli walking Koko on his leash, and Lulu fluttering beside them past flower gardens and cozy houses.
