What is The Emotion Ocean series by Katie Woolley about?

Written and first published in 2021–22, The Emotion Ocean is a six-book picture-book series in which sea-creature classmates encounter jealousy, anger, shyness, worry, fear and sadness. Across the books, each character names a difficult feeling, explores what caused it and learns gentle, practical ways to respond, repair relationships and move forward. The clear, reassuring stories suit children aged about four to seven, especially those developing emotional vocabulary or starting school. Mild conflict, mistakes, separation and anxious feelings may need discussion with sensitive readers.
