About this project

Who it supports
This initiative supports children receiving treatment and rehabilitation at UNBROKEN KIDS in Lviv, including those affected by injury, illness, trauma and the psychological consequences of war. The books are intended to help young patients recognise, understand and communicate their feelings during what can be a challenging period in their lives.
What it involves
Fierce Calm provided 100 copies of Inspector Croc's Emotion-O-Meter, an illustrated children's book that introduces emotions through engaging characters, storytelling and an imaginative emotion-measuring device. The books can be used by children independently or alongside psychologists, caregivers and rehabilitation professionals to encourage reflection, discussion and emotional learning. The initiative offers an accessible, child-friendly resource that complements psychological support and helps make conversations about difficult feelings less intimidating.
Who delivers it
Fierce Calm donated 100 copies of Inspector Croc's Emotion-O-Meter, written by Susanna Isern and illustrated by Mónica Carretero, to support children's emotional wellbeing. The books provide a practical resource for Ukrainian psychologists, rehabilitation professionals and caregivers working with children during recovery.
Partners involved
The initiative was delivered in partnership with UNBROKEN KIDS in Lviv, which provides specialist treatment and rehabilitation for children. Fierce Calm supplied the 100 books to support the centre's work with young patients, contributing practical resources that can be incorporated into psychological care, emotional education and wider rehabilitation activities.
What it aimed to support
The initiative aims to strengthen emotional awareness, self-expression and communication. By helping children identify and describe different feelings, the books can support conversations about fear, sadness, anger and other emotions, encouraging children to develop emotional understanding and confidence in expressing their needs.
