A Bit About Me
Joseph Goodrich, Ed.D.
Life is complex and full of challenges, especially for children who are constantly learning how to engage with others while developing their emotional and social intelligence. My goal as a children's author is to help children understand and manage their emotions through storytelling. As a Marine Corps husband and dad, I rely on stories to remain engaged with my children while I am away from home. My children are the inspiration behind this part of my life.
Ellie and Her Emotional Dragons
Winner of 15 National and International Book Awards!
I am extremely proud and honored to share my first children's adventure! Follow Ellie and her four emotional dragons (Naz, Nali, Tully, and Hani) through a day in her new scary house. Whenever Ellie gets scared, sad, angry, or happy, there is a special tiny dragon that magically appears from her closet to help her learn how to deal with her emotions.
