Reach for this book when your child is caught in a loop of 'what-ifs' or becomes visibly tense when things do not go exactly as planned. This story introduces us to a high-strung sardine who gets separated from his school and spirals into a panic. Through a chance encounter with a mellow jellyfish, the sardine learns that while we cannot control the ocean's currents, we can control how we float through them. Ideal for children ages 4 to 8, this book uses humor and vibrant illustrations to de-stigmatize anxiety. It provides a concrete model for mindfulness and asking for help without being overly preachy. It is a perfect choice for parents looking to build their child's emotional vocabulary and introduce simple breathing techniques for moments of overwhelm.
