In
Shemmy's Wild Ride,
an ECSELent Adventures story, Shemmy explores what it means to be a big kid.
She
feels
like a big kid, but the training wheels on her bike prevent her from keeping up with her older friends at the park, and she's the only one who has her lovey, Mimi Curie, with her in her bike basket. Is Shemmy ready to shed these familiar comfort objects and try new things on her own? Learn, grow, and develop alongside Shemmy as she navigates the challenges of growing up, letting go, and gaining self-assurance.
Shemmy invites children to join her as she discovers that becoming a big kid involves sadness along with anxiety and uncertainty in the loss of letting go of the familiar
and
excitement about experiencing the many new adventures ahead. After all, embracing the unknown requires perseverance and the confidence to engage and stick with new experiences that help build a positive sense of self-at any age.
