MIDDOS MONSTERS

A gentle picture book for children - and the adults who love them.

Everyone carries monsters.
Some worry. Some plan. Some wait.
This book names a few of them.

Middos Monsters: Little Creatures We Carry With Us is a gentle, emotionally aware picture book that gives names and faces to the inner experiences we all share - worry, perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, kindness, and more.

Through a cast of soft, expressive monsters, each representing a different middah (character trait), readers are invited to notice their feelings with curiosity instead of judgment. Every creature reflects a familiar inner voice, helping children and adults alike recognize what's happening inside - and meet it with compassion.

Rooted in Jewish tradition yet universally relatable, this book isn't about fixing emotions. It's about making space for them. Short, poetic reflections paired with warm illustrations create opportunities for quiet connection, meaningful conversation, and self-awareness at any age.

For all ages.
Children see cute creatures and simple reflections they recognize in themselves.
Adults see familiar patterns named gently and honestly.

Whether shared at bedtime, used in classrooms or therapy settings, or explored quietly on your own, Middos Monsters meets readers where they are - reminding us that every monster gets smaller once it's noticed.
