Therapists Turn to Lisa Adventure Series to Support Emotional Growth in Children

Across therapy offices and counseling spaces, professionals are embracing a new tool to support emotional development in children-the Lisa Adventure Series. These gentle, illustrated stories follow a kind and reflective young girl named Lisa, who models how to pause, consider, and choose empathy in everyday situations.

Created by former educator and illustrator Mary Marcoux, the books are written with emotional sensitivity and child-appropriate language. Mental health professionals praise the series for helping children articulate their feelings without feeling overwhelmed or pressured. The stories are especially useful during sessions that deal with topics like friendship struggles, anxiety, change, and self-worth.

What sets Lisa apart from other characters is her emotional availability. She openly wonders, reflects, and makes mistakes-and learns from them. Therapists find this modeling incredibly helpful, as children begin to mirror Lisa's willingness to acknowledge difficult emotions and problem-solve in healthy ways.

Each book concludes with a "Try It Tomorrow" prompt that encourages real-world action. These range from simple reflection questions to acts of kindness, offering families and counselors a bridge from reading into behavioral application.
The series is also accessible in digital formats, with soft narration and child-friendly navigation that make them usable in telehealth settings or at-home therapeutic follow-ups. Parents working with child psychologists have reported seeing noticeable changes in their child's openness after reading Lisa's stories together.
For mental health professionals seeking literature-based emotional tools that children relate to and feel safe with, Lisa's adventures are becoming a trusted companion.
