Mavu the river otter
The fair one

For grown-ups

Every feeling has a glow. Every problem has a fair way through. GLOWTAIL gives families simple words to use the same day.

🌈

The check-in

At bedtime, in the car, or after daycare, ask: "What color is your glow today?" Kids name feelings with colors they already know from the show.

🤝

Ask, Listen, Offer, Check

When two little friends want one toy, say the four words. Lumo shows how to make a fair deal instead of grabbing.

🪨

The thinking stone

When something is hard: sit, take one big breath, and ask a friend for help. It's how Lumo turns ember red back to gold.

🧸

Calm by design

Gentle pacing, no flashing, no shouting, no ads inside the story, and real pauses so children can answer out loud.

Free printable Glow Chart

Hang Lumo's feelings chart on the fridge. Each day, your child points to their glow color. It's the easiest way to start a feelings talk.
