A world-first children's book on Needs Literacy.

The Phoenix Five is a beautifully illustrated story designed to do something quite special — it gently introduces children to the idea that we all have different needs, and those needs matter.

Inspired by the Phoenix Cups® framework, each character represents a core human need — Safety, Connection, Freedom, Mastery, and Fun—brought to life in a way young minds can relate to and explore.

Through story and play, children begin to build the language to express how they feel, what they need, and why it matters. It’s a gentle first step into what we call Needs Literacy — an understanding that sits at the heart of wellbeing and growth.

This isn’t just a book. It’s the beginning of a lifelong journey in self-awareness, compassion, and emotional strength.


More than a book...
The Phoenix Five is the first step towards emotional strength.

Research shows that when children understand their needs, they’re better able to regulate emotions, build healthy relationships, and develop self-awareness.

The Phoenix Five helps lay the foundation for that understanding... using story, symbolism, and lived experience.

  • Created by the authors of the Phoenix Cups® framework
  • Loved by parents, teachers, and psychologists alike
  • Backed by years of research and real-world experience


Designed for Young Minds. Loved by Grown-up Hearts.

The Phoenix Five is perfect for...

  • humans aged 0 to 100+ (yes, really!)
  • educators and early childhood professionals
  • fans of books like Jo Witek's "In My Heart" and Gabi Garcia's "Listening To My Body"
  • anyone who believes children thrive when their needs are understood and met.
