The Volcano Inside - Special Edition
by Mandy Thach
Every one of us has a tiny volcano inside - a special place where our feelings live, bubble, and grow. Sometimes our volcanoes stay calm and quiet, and other times they rumble with big emotions like frustration, sadness, worry, or overwhelm. Through the gentle story of Kohala, a caring koala with a very sensitive heart, children are guided to recognise what's happening inside their bodies before their own volcano starts to erupt.
The Volcano Inside helps children understand the early signs of strong emotions - the tight chest before tears, the quick heartbeat before panic, or the hot cheeks before anger. By learning to notice these sensations, children can find calm and express their feelings in kind and healthy ways.
This beautifully illustrated picture book offers a nurturing tool for emotional growth and self-regulation. Designed for children aged 4 to 10, it supports parents, teachers, and therapists in creating conversations about emotional awareness, anxiety, and the gentle power of self-care.
The Special Edition includes bonus pages filled with mindful colouring, sensory exploration, and reflection activities that invite children to playfully explore what helps them feel safe, grounded, and at peace. Whether read at home, in classrooms, or during therapy sessions, The Volcano Inside is a comforting companion that reminds every child - and grown-up - that it's okay to feel, to pause, and to let their inner volcano rest.
