Space Adventures and Exploration
The Angry Vacuum takes readers on a thrilling space adventure with sibling superheroes Laura and Sid, who are back to save the day, but this time from an out-of-control AI vacuum. What was the inspiration for your story?
The inspiration for that story was my imagination and fascination with space adventures and exploration. I was thinking how could I share with other children how to manage emotions and I thought about using an A.I. robot in space to help tell the story because I thought it would be interesting.
Who was your favorite character to write for, and why?
I like Sid the Super Happy Kid. He is adventurous and smart. He does his best to control his emotions and he likes helping other kids. I think that is really cool. I have been writing about the Super Happy Kid since I was three years old and then I changed it to Sid the Super Happy Kid. My dad was responsible for creating the character of Laura the Emotions Explorer, the sister of Sid. I thought it was a good idea to have a brother and sister that practice teamwork and learn to manage emotions and I started writing about both of them using their powers to help children as well as teachers. I think it is great that kids can also teach adults and children about emotions.
What scene in the book did you have the most fun writing?
I enjoyed writing about the A.I. robot flipping its lid and sucking up all the emotions in the room. It made it seem like an emotional rollercoaster with twists and turns in the story.
What advice do you have for other children who are aspiring writers?
Kids should read books and take time to think about creating their stories and also write their own stories. Kids should also share with their parents their ideas because your parents can help support your development of your ideas. My dad encourage me and bought me sketch pads, storyboards, and tablets and books to help me.
You can start with a simple concept and just keep working on your story. You can also draw your ideas for your story. It is a very good feeling and I hope more children will be able to tell their stories and have fun creating them. I am a member of several reading clubs and that is a good start for children that like to write they should also read for enjoyment and inspiration.

The Angry Vacuum
The Angry Vacuum takes readers on a thrilling space adventure with sibling superheroes Laura and Sid, who are back to save the day but this time from an out-of-control AI vacuum! In this second book of the emotional intelligence series, the stakes are higher as the vacuum isn’t just cleaning up dust, it’s sucking up all the positive emotions. As it grows stronger with each joyful feeling it consumes, Laura and Sid must act quickly before their world is drained of all happiness.
Authors Jomo Jesus Thomas Suriel and Jomo Gamal Thomas seamlessly blend action and emotion in the story. The concept of an AI vacuum feeding on good emotions is creative and fun, but it also cleverly highlights how negative emotions can feel overwhelming when all the positive ones are gone. The urgency of the situation keeps readers hooked, while the deeper lesson that emotional intelligence is the key to overcoming big problems runs throughout the story. It’s a fun way to teach kids that emotions are powerful, but with the right tools, they can manage them. I enjoyed how Laura and Sid use their emotional intelligence to solve the problem, rather than brute force. The siblings don’t just fight the vacuum—they understand that to defeat it, they need to regulate their own feelings and use teamwork. The message is simple but effective: even in the face of a “supervillain,” understanding your emotions can save the day. This makes the story not just entertaining but educational, giving kids valuable lessons in emotional self-regulation.
The Angry Vacuum is a delightful follow-up to the first book in this series. It’s filled with action, humor, and heart, and it teaches important life skills in a way that feels fresh and engaging. Perfect for kids who love superheroes and parents who want to introduce emotional intelligence in a fun, accessible way. Whether read at bedtime or in the classroom, this is a story that empowers young readers to face their emotions with confidence.
