This charming story for ages three to eight features our beloved Ellie the Elephant, known for her gentleness. Ellie faces her fears when frightened for the very first time. Things look scary until her friends Cheetah, Monkey, and Snail share their experiences and Dragonfly-Fairy helps them all understand the power of calming themselves.
Another in the
Conscious Stories
collection, this beautifully illustrated book is designed to encourage children to pause when feeling afraid. It teaches kids to slow down, take a deep belly breath, and focus on what is around them.
The book starts with the
Snuggle Breathing Meditation
™ and ends with
Ellie's S.T.A.R. Breathing
, an activity page that helps families practice calming and self-regulation skills so they can recognize fear and calm themselves.
