Whether they are ruminating on a playground scuffle or feeling anxious about the future, this poetic reflection provides a soothing anchor.

It validates their diverse feelings while modeling a simple mindfulness practice that helps kids find peace and hope in the 'now.' It is a beautiful tool for winding down after a high-emotion day.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book handles sadness and pain in a secular, direct, yet gentle manner. It does not shy away from the fact that life includes 'dismaying' moments, but the resolution is hopeful and realistic, focusing on resilience rather than a forced happy ending.
