Big feelings and racing thoughts can feel uncomfortable - like something inside is pushing and pulling.
But what if we didn't have to struggle with them?
In this warm and beautifully illustrated Australian picture book, Baz discovers something powerful: he doesn't need to push his feelings away or hold them still. He can let them come and go on their own.
And when he does, something surprising happens - he begins to feel steady, even when things are bumpy.
A children's mindfulness story about feelings and emotional regulation
Through storytelling, guided reflection, and QR-linked companion resources, children (and the adults who read with them) are introduced to practical mindfulness skills that support:
- Emotional resilience
- Self-awareness
- Staying steady during difficult moments
- Allowing feelings to come and go
This story gently introduces social-emotional learning in a way that is accessible, engaging, and easy to practise.
Perfect for:
- Home reading and bedtime reflection
- Classroom discussions and emotional literacy programs
- Social-emotional learning (SEL) settings
- Parents and educators supporting children with big feelings
Unlike many children's books about emotions, the skills explored in this story are drawn from the research-informed Unified Mindfulness system - a clear, structured approach used in meditation training and scientific research.
Written by Certified Unified Mindfulness Teacher Mark Shiell, this book blends warmth, clarity, and practical attention skill-building.
