When the world feels too busy, can a child learn to find a little calm inside?
Ellie Finds Her Calm: Little Lessons in Mindful Moments is a heartwarming social-emotional learning (SEL) book for children ages 3-7 that introduces a simple mindfulness strategy for handling busy, overwhelming moments.
When Ellie Elephant's exciting day begins to feel like too much, she starts noticing clues from her body-noisy thoughts, a tight tummy, and fast feet.
With a little guidance, Ellie discovers a simple three-step calming tool:
NOTICE. BREATHE. RESET.
She learns to notice what her body is telling her, take a slow breath, and ask herself an important question:
What do I need right now?
Maybe it's a quiet moment. Maybe it's help from a friend. Maybe it's taking one small step instead of trying to do everything at once.
More than a picture book, Ellie Finds Her Calm is an educational tool designed to help caring adults teach mindfulness and emotional self-regulation in ways young children can understand and practice.
