Stories for growing hearts.
The Good Soul creates thoughtful stories and creative experiences that help children understand their emotions, feel less alone in them and find their own ways to express what’s happening inside.
A gentle place for big feelings
Growing up comes with all kinds of feelings, some easy to name and others much harder to explain.
Through relatable characters, meaningful stories and simple creative activities, The Good Soul gives children space to explore emotions such as worry, courage, frustration, change and belonging.
There are no perfect answers here. Just stories that open conversations, encourage imagination and remind children that whatever they are feeling, they are not alone.
The soul behind
The Good Soul
Hi, I’m Melina, the writer and creator behind The Good Soul.
With a background in childcare and education, more than a decade in creative design and further training in art therapy, I bring together storytelling, creativity and an understanding of children’s emotional development.
Inspired by life with my own two boys, I create thoughtful stories and related experiences that give children gentle ways to explore what’s happening inside.
