The Enneagram Messages Kids Need to Hear

By: Ann Gadd

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ann Gadd brings the Enneagram's lost childhood messages to tweens.

Growing up isn’t always easy—especially in the in-between years.

In this beautifully illustrated adventure for ages 8–12, Ann Gadd brings the wisdom of the Enneagram to life in a way tweens can truly understand. Lost Messages invites young readers on a mysterious journey where nine powerful messages are waiting to be discovered—each one carrying the exact words a different personality type longs to hear.

This is not a textbook about the Enneagram.

Instead, it’s a story—fun, thoughtful, and deeply relatable. As each message is revealed, children begin to recognize themselves in the characters. They discover that their fears, strengths, and struggles are shared by others. Most importantly, they hear the reassuring truths that help them feel seen, understood, and valued.

Perfect for parents who want to support their child’s emotional growth, this book helps tweens:

• Build confidence and healthy self-understanding
• Recognize their unique strengths
• Develop empathy for different personality types
• Feel understood during the often confusing pre-teen years
• Strengthen communication within the family

The “lost childhood messages” are the words many of us needed to hear growing up. Through story and gentle insight, this book gives today’s children those messages at exactly the right time.

An engaging read for independent readers—and a powerful conversation starter for families—Lost Messages helps tweens better understand themselves and each other, creating connection, compassion, and confidence that lasts well beyond childhood.
