About the Authors
Our Mission
We believe that every child deserves to feel securely attached and emotionally understood. As mental health professionals, we saw a need for a story that didn’t just entertain but also modeled what “secure attachment” actually feels like.
Daisy & Buttercup was born out of a desire to translate complex psychological concepts—like emotional regulation and DBT—into a gentle, accessible narrative for children. We created this book to help families build a foundation of trust, giving parents the words to soothe and children the skills to cope.
