What if jealousy isn't about wanting more... but about noticing what you already have?
Meet Nip, a bright green diamond who loves Art Day. But when everyone gets different supplies, Nip starts to notice what the others have - and his tummy fills with tight, prickly feelings.
His hands squeeze.
He only sees what he doesn't have.
With gentle guidance, Nip learns a simple body-based strategy to squeeze, breathe, and let go. As his hands open, the prickly feeling fades and he begins to see his own special things again.
Nip Feels Jealous is a warm Social Emotional Learning story that helps children understand comparison, manage the urge to grab, and find calm and confidence in what is already theirs.
As children follow Nip's journey, they also naturally absorb early learning concepts including shapes, counting, colours, and observation - woven into the story so learning happens without pressure.
Perfect for children who:
- compare themselves to others
- struggle with sharing or fairness
- feel upset when others have something better
- find it hard to let go of I want it feelings
- need gentle emotional regulation tools
This supportive story helps children:
- recognise jealousy in their body
- learn a safe calming strategy
- practise letting go of grab impulses
- build gratitude and emotional awareness
- develop self-regulation and resilience
