Some kids have one speed: GO. Finn is one of them — and Zip is the tiny golden hummingbird only he can see, who zips exactly as fast as Finn's brain. Funny, warm, never preachy stories for wiggly bodies and busy brains, ages 4–8 — each with one real reset skill kids actually use.
12 pocket-size resets from the series — the Rocket-Squeeze, Landing-Gear, Storm-Count and more. Join the waitlist and they're yours, plus first word (and launch pricing) when Book 1 arrives.
"Rockets don't stop.
Rockets get ready."
A big-energy picture book about wiggly bodies and busy brains · Ages 4–8

Six years old. One speed: GO. His energy topples block towers and saves the day — usually in the same afternoon. Finn never gets "fixed." He learns where to park the GO.
The palm-size golden hummingbird only Finn can see. Zips when Finn's brain zips — and hovers, wings blurred into a glowing ring, when Finn resets. Every book's calm-down trick is Zip's.
Finn's best friend, head happily in the clouds. The dreamy, drifty kind of busy brain — because not every fast mind is loud. Her story is coming, too.
Every Finn & Zip book takes one real flashpoint — circle time, screens-off, losing the game — and turns it into an adventure with a reset a four-year-old can do in under 30 seconds. Practiced in the story twice, so it comes home from the book.
For bodies that won't sit still: squeeze tight like a rocket on the launchpad, count down 3-2-1 with one slow breath, blast the wiggles out — and land.
For screens-off meltdowns: five minutes means circle the runway, one minute means wheels down — then you've landed. Pilots land; they don't crash.
For game-night thunder: name the storm out loud, count it down 5-4-3-2-1 slower each number, and shake hands when the rain stops.

Big feelings at bedtime usually mean big energy all day. The Lumo Bedtime Books wind little ones down at night — and Finn & Zip helps them steer the daylight hours. Same gentle heart, two halves of the day.
