Sing-Along Books to Boost
Kids Confidence and Calm Big Feelings
Picture books, music, and videos for children ages 3–9 that teach social emotional learning (SEL), emotional regulation, and early life skills through stories and songs.
Welcome to the Storytime with Annie & Rocco book and music series—where storytelling meets song to help children understand their feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy emotional habits.
We support parents and teachers with social emotional learning (SEL) resources designed for preschool and early elementary learners, including engaging sing-along books, educational songs, and interactive video lessons.
Our stories help children learn how to:
-
Name and understand their emotions
-
Calm big feelings and build self-regulation skills
-
Develop kindness, empathy, and confidence
-
Build early learning foundations like counting, reading, and routines
-
Understand their connection to the natural world
Through memorable stories that double as catchy educational songs, children learn emotional intelligence in a way that feels fun, familiar, and easy to apply in real life—at home or in the classroom.
Why Parents & Teachers Love Our Books
Social Emotional Learning for Kids
Our singable book series turns picture books into a fun, multi-sensory social emotional learning (SEL) experience for children. Grounded in brain science and early childhood development, these interactive stories help children learn how to name and manage big feelings in a healthy way. We teach the simple concept of “name it to tame it”—giving kids language for their emotions so they can feel more in control when big feelings arise.
Using rhythm, repetition, and song, our stories help calm the emotional brain and engage the thinking brain, making it easier for children to pause, reflect, and respond with confidence. This approach creates a strong foundation for turning overwhelming emotions into self-awareness, resilience, and emotional confidence.

"Bedtime used to be a two-hour battle in our house. The checklist turned it into a game. My son loves 'checking off' his progress! It’s been a game-changer!"
— David S.
We love all of Annie and Rocco’s books. My toddler just loves to pick them to read and go through for bedtime. I feel like they have been really helpful in getting my toddler to speak more and express herself!
