What Do I Think?

Thoughts can be kind, brave, noisy, or uncertain. But does every thought tell the whole story?

WHAT DO I THINK? A Little Book About Thoughts by Shea Miller invites children to explore their thinking with curiosity, kindness, and hope. Through gentle rhymes and colorful illustrations, a friendly stick-figure character discovers that thoughts may come and go-and we can pause before deciding what to do.

From trying something difficult and making mistakes to hearing hurtful words and feeling unsure, this reassuring picture book explores moments children recognize. Along the way, young readers encounter simple reminders: breathe, look for more clues, ask questions, practice, and turn to a trusted grown-up for help.

Children don't have to like every thought, solve every worry, or get everything right the first time. They can feel uncomfortable and still make thoughtful choices. And even when their thoughts change, their worth stays secure.

With an encouraging "Pause. Think. Choose." message, WHAT DO I THINK? offers a starting point for conversations about feelings, confidence, flexible thinking, and self-worth. A thoughtful read-aloud for families, classrooms, and school counselors, it reminds children that growing takes practice-one thought and one choice at a time.
