Magical Stories That Help Children Navigate Big Emotions

About Jack-a-Roo

Welcome to the adventures of Jack-a-Roo, a curious little rabbit who guides children through magical nighttime and everyday adventures filled with comfort, reassurance, and discovery. Each rhyming story follows Jack-a-Roo as he experiences feelings children often know well like worry, uncertainty, or fear—and finds warmth, friendship, and fun along the way.

Jack-a-Roo stories are more than traditional children’s books. Each adventure is thoughtfully created to help little ones understand their feelings, feel less alone, build confidence, develop healthy coping tools, and feel safe during difficult moments. They also give parents and caregivers a nurturing way to talk about emotions, worries, and fears—creating meaningful moments of connection at bedtime and beyond.

About Angela Radzevich

I'm a children's book author, digital designer, and mum who created Jack-a-Roo to help children feel understood, supported, and confident as they learn to navigate life's big emotions.

Originally from England and now living in Evansville, Indiana, I draw inspiration from both places when creating the world of Jack-a-Roo. My son, Jack, is the heart behind the stories and inspiration for the Jack-a-Roo character, while the landscapes, wildlife, and everyday moments that surround our family help bring his adventures to life. The meadows, woodlands, and watercolor scenery reflect the beauty of the English countryside and the Lake District I grew up with, while the rabbits that visit our backyard, the groundhog living beneath our garden shed, and the peaceful pond behind our home often find their way into the pages of my books.

Through each story, I hope to create magical, comforting worlds that help children build confidence, resilience, and emotional understanding.
