About The Feeling Seeds™
The Feeling Seeds™ began as a story from my heart, created with the hope that children could learn their feelings in a softer, safer, more magical way.
I wrote this world with the intention of helping children connect with the emotions they feel inside, especially the ones that can feel too big, too confusing, or too hard to explain. Guided by Fern, my Feelings Fairy of this story, children are invited into a garden where every feeling has a place to grow, a message to share, and a purpose in helping them understand their hearts.
Inside this garden, emotions become living Feeling Seeds™. Joy shines, Sadness softens, Anger protects, Worry whispers, Fear asks for safety, Courage rises, Disgust guards, and Love connects. Each seed gives children a gentle way to name what they feel, understand what their hearts may need, and begin talking about their emotions with the people who love them.
My hope is that The Feeling Seeds™ becomes more than a book. I hope it becomes a shared garden for children and the grown-ups who love them, a place where feelings can be noticed, named, tended, and talked about together.
Because every feeling is a seed.
And every child deserves a garden where they can grow.
About the Author
KP Nielsen is an author, illustrator, creative visionary, and founder of Iris & Root Wellness, LLC. Raised in the tiny town of Ewing, Nebraska, where she graduated alongside just nine classmates, KP grew up with a big imagination and a love for creativity.
Life eventually led her into the legal and compliance industries, where she spent 11 years building a successful career. But an unexpected career change opened the door to something she had carried within her since childhood: the desire to create.
As a stepmom, energy healer, and passionate advocate for emotional well-being, KP believes that understanding our feelings is one of the most valuable gifts we can give ourselves and future generations.
Her inspiration for Fern & The Feeling Seeds™ comes from a deeply personal dream: to one day sit beside her own children, open a storybook, and help them discover that every emotion has meaning, purpose, and a place within them.
Blending her love of storytelling, nature, imagination, and emotional awareness, KP is creating a whimsical world where children can begin recognizing their feelings, understanding how emotions show up in their bodies, and learning to navigate them with curiosity and compassion.
Through The Feeling Seeds™ Collection, she hopes to plant something much bigger than stories: the seeds of a future generation rooted in emotional intelligence, empathy, self-awareness, and love.
