The Feelings Truck

Meet Gus, a big truck with even bigger feelings. Some days, Gus feels proud. Some days, he feels frustrated. And some days… his feelings pile up so high they almost spill over. Through simple language and gentle storytelling, The Feelings Truck helps children learn...

Every truck has big feelings sometimes. Gus is a thoughtful little garbage truck who learns something important: his voice matters. When the road feels confusing and emotions start filling his feelings truck, Gus discovers that using a brave voice can help him stay safe, ask for help, and stand up for himself.

Gus and the Two Roads is a gentle, emotionally supportive children’s story about a little garbage truck named Gus who is trying to navigate two very different roads. Along the way, Gus feels confused, worried, and pulled in different directions as he learns that he does not have to choose sides or carry grown-up problems on his own.

Big feelings can feel very heavy to carry alone. Gus is a little green garbage truck who drives between two homes deep in the forest. Each home has different routines, different rules, and different ways of doing things. Sometimes Gus wonders: What if everyone could become one happy home again? But as confusing conversations begin filling his truck bed with glowing yellow lanterns, Gus starts carrying worries that feel too heavy for one little truck. With the help of Pip, Frog, and the wise lantern keeper owl, Gus learns something important: Children are allowed to love both homes.
