You Did This by Kai & Riley's Mumma

About the Book — You Did This

You Did This is a heart-led children’s book that celebrates effort, courage, and the magic of trying. In a world that often focuses on outcomes, this book gently shifts the spotlight to something far more powerful — the small, everyday moments where a child shows up, tries, learns, and grows.

Through warm storytelling and emotionally safe language, You Did This reassures children that they are capable, loved, and seen — not just when they succeed, but every step along the way. The book creates a nurturing reading experience for both parent and child, making it perfect for bedtime, quiet bonding moments, or confidence-building conversations.

At its core, this book is about helping children build a strong inner voice — one that says:

“I can try.”

“I can learn.”

“I am enough.”

About the Author — Kai & Riley’s Mumma aka Shreya Naik Kapoor

Shreya Naik Kapoor is best known (and most proudly) as Kai & Riley’s Mumma — a title that inspired her journey into writing stories that children feel safe inside.

An author, creator, educator, performer, and serial idea-starter, Shreya wears many hats — often all before lunch. From building child-led sensory experiences to creating community spaces for parents, to performing on stage as part of a live music act, her work sits at the intersection of childhood, creativity, emotion, and real life.

Through her work with children and families, she has seen first-hand how powerful the right words can be in shaping a child’s inner voice — and how much parents need support, reassurance, and sometimes… just a reminder that we are all figuring it out as we go.

Her approach to childhood is rooted in:

• Emotional safety before achievement
• Confidence built through connection, not pressure
• Learning through play, curiosity, and real experiences
• Celebrating effort, not perfection
• 
  

You Did This is the book she wanted to read to her own children — one that tells them they are seen, safe, capable, and deeply loved, exactly as they are.
