Big feelings ahead.
Welcome to Emmers—the world where we talk about life and the big feelings that come with it.
Overslept.
Spilled your drink.
Wore the wrong outfit.
Cried before breakfast.
Emotions can be a doozy.
And we’re just talking about #adulting
Whether happy, sad, or a little squiggly, we’ve got a story, a card, or a character that’s been there too.

Meet Nola.
If there’s a race, I’m already winning—even if I made it up five seconds ago. I’ve got energy for days and a victory dance for every occasion. Love being in charge. Love it even more when everyone’s having fun together.
Hey! I’m Emmers.
Meet Zy.

I build stuff. Weird stuff. Flying, spinning, wiggling stuff made out of cereal boxes and rubber bands. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it... doesn’t. Either way, I call it a success. Got any tape?

I’m Squid.
I like to think. A lot. About stars, and feelings, and why pancakes taste better on Saturdays.
I notice things most people don’t. Like how your face scrunches when you’re trying not to cry. That’s the kind
of stuff that matters.
I’m Nola.

I like keeping little surprises in my pockets—stickers, notes, tiny sparkly things. If someone’s having a hard day, I usually have something that helps.
I hum when I’m thinking. Animals really like me. So do people,
I think.

That spark turned into a mission. Melanie dove into the research, teamed up with experts, and built the Emmers Monster Universe—games, books, and stories designed to support the children she loves so much.
Meet Melanie
Melanie Sperling wanted to create fun and engaging ways to build emotional strength and skills in young children—something they could carry with them as they grow. While playing test games with her nieces and nephews, she noticed that not only were they having a great time, but their parents were craving more of that learning-through-play too.
