Brave First Days

First days are big. A simple plan for the butterflies makes them a lot easier.

In these 3 short read-aloud stories, the Lagoon Friends face big first times. Gabi and Guto start the Big Kids' Year at school, Tati goes to her first swimming lesson, and Pepo steps on stage to recite the poem he wrote. Each friend names the feeling and learns a simple calming tool to take along.

Inside this book:

• 3 stories of about 5 minutes each

• 3 calming tools to try together: the palm push, the starfish float and growing roots

• "Let's talk" questions and a "Feeling word" after every story

• A parent guide: "The week before a first time"

• Writing and drawing activities, a feelings diary and a star chart

• Colorful illustrations of the little friends from 30 Calm Nights

Read it the week before school starts, a new class, or any first time.

Book 1 of the Little Big Challenges series. All twelve stories are collected in Big Feelings Stories for 6-Year-Olds.
