Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is caught in a loop of 'what ifs' or seems physically tense from invisible worries. It provides a concrete, somatic tool for children who are not yet able to verbalize complex anxieties but can understand the power of a physical action. The story follows Lulu as she encounters various childhood stressors and learns to use a rhythmic clap to interrupt her spiraling thoughts. By focusing on the connection between the mind and the body, the book teaches self-regulation in a way that feels like a game rather than a lesson. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to move beyond just talking about feelings and into active, embodied coping strategies. It normalizes the experience of anxiety while empowering the child with a sense of agency over their own internal state.
