Dr. Kjartan Armann draws on 40 years in pediatric practice to help children, parents, and teachers build emotional awareness and social skills.
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, August 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pediatrician Dr. Kjartan Armann brings four decades of experience caring for children to Huebert Shares His Feelings: The Adventure Begins, a children’s story designed to make emotions easier to recognize, understand, and express.Illustrated by Suzanne Pell, the book introduces Huebert, a charming chameleon whose changing colors reveal what he is feeling. Through an imaginative visual concept and familiar childhood experiences, Dr. Armann creates an approachable way for families and educators to begin conversations about emotional awareness, communication, empathy, and the social skills that support healthy development. Throughout Huebert Shares His Feelings: The Adventure Begins, Huebert’s emotions appear through different colors, turning feelings that may seem difficult to explain into something children can see and discuss. Happiness can shine through bright yellow, nervousness can appear in pink, and sadness can emerge in deep blue. As Huebert encounters situations such as spending time with friends, visiting the doctor, and managing uncomfortable emotions, children are encouraged to identify what he is experiencing while developing language for their own feelings. The story emphasizes that expressing emotion is a natural and valuable part of growing up.
Dr. Armann’s inspiration comes directly from his 40 years in private pediatric practice and his desire to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives beyond the examination room. He became particularly concerned about children who experienced social isolation during the pandemic and may have had fewer opportunities to develop interpersonal skills through everyday interaction with their peers. With Huebert Shares His Feelings: The Adventure Begins, he seeks to give parents, teachers, and children an engaging starting point for social and emotional learning while encouraging children to communicate rather than keep difficult feelings inside. The book is intended for children as well as the adults who guide their development. Dr. Armann views emotional understanding and social skills as fundamental parts of childhood, with lessons learned early helping create a foundation for emotionally healthy adulthood. Huebert’s adventures can provide parents and teachers with a relatable character for discussing happiness, nervousness, sadness, and other feelings in age-appropriate ways. By giving emotions visible colors and placing them within recognizable situations, the story offers children a gentle framework for understanding themselves while becoming more attentive to what others may be experiencing.
Dr. Kjartan Armann is a pediatrician whose 40 years of private practice have given him extensive experience supporting children and families throughout development. His work on Huebert Shares His Feelings: The Adventure Begins reflects his commitment to helping young people develop the emotional vocabulary and social confidence needed to navigate childhood and beyond. With Suzanne Pell’s illustrations bringing Huebert’s colorful emotional world to life, the book begins a series centered on emotional intelligence, empathy, resilience, and self-expression, reinforcing a simple but important message: children’s feelings deserve to be recognized, understood, and shared.
