Ages 7-11
A baseball game to step into, a talking book to meet, and room to explore their own thoughts. No baseball experience required.
Interactive
Draw, write, imagine, and try little experiments. These pages leave room for what your child notices—not just someone else’s answers.
Funny
A forgotten teammate’s name. A greeting loud enough for the dog. A talking book who definitely saw that. There’s plenty to laugh about between plays.
Understanding My Thoughts
In 49 Lessons
You miss one ball.
Your thoughts would like to discuss your entire future.
Welcome to Eleven’s baseball game, where the action on the field is only part of the story. There are also imaginary conversations, predictions nobody asked for, and one talking book with a few questions.
​
Understanding My Thoughts in 49 Lessons invites children to explore the thoughts that show up during ordinary moments—the awkward ones, the exciting ones, and the ones that somehow keep replaying after everyone else has moved on.
​
Across seven innings, readers follow Eleven’s story, then turn their attention to their own experience. Short, illustrated lessons make room to write, draw, and discover:
• How a memory or prediction can pull your attention away from what’s happening.
• How one moment can turn into a whole story about yourself.
• What you notice in your body when a thought shows up.
• What happens when you don’t have to argue with every thought.
​
Children don’t have to find the perfect answer. They don’t have to finish feeling differently. There’s room to be curious—and room to be unsure.
The game keeps moving. Thoughts keep showing up.
You don’t have to chase every one.
