Hi, La Noe here. I’ve released a new book!

Tommy is four years old, and it sometimes feels like he has a little motor running inside him.

He talks. He runs. He jumps. He tells enormous stories and has a thousand things he wants Mom to see.

But one day, after one “Mom, look!” too many, Mom loses her patience and says something Tommy hears very differently from the way she meant it.

Is Mom tired… of him?

In this warm and reassuring picture book, Tommy discovers something every child needs to know: a NO can stop what you are doing without changing who you are. And even when you are angry, disappointed, or frustrated, love does not go anywhere.

No Isn’t About You gently helps young children learn how to:

• separate a boundary from rejection
• name and express big feelings safely
• cope with frustration and disappointment
• understand that strong emotions rise and fall
• find another choice when the answer is still no

A gentle, relatable story for children ages 3–6 and for parents who want to set loving boundaries without making their child feel wrong for having big feelings.
