Help children learn that everyone needs a break - even a leopard!
When a powerful storm rolls across the African savannah, Leopard refuses to stop keeping watch. As the rain falls and emotions grow stronger, Elephant gently reminds Leopard that taking a break isn't giving up - it's a healthy way to calm your body, understand your feelings, and keep going.
Through an engaging safari adventure, young readers learn to recognize emotions, choose healthy coping skills, and practice self-regulation using simple, age-appropriate strategies.
Perfect for children ages 3-6, Even Leopards Need a Break! helps build social-emotional learning (SEL) skills at home, in classrooms, counseling settings, and therapy sessions.
Inside you'll discover:
- Simple self-regulation and healthy coping skills
- Easy ways to recognize and talk about emotions
- A Color Scale to help children identify their feelings
- A Break Bank with practical calming strategies
- Bonus activities for parents, caregivers, and teachers to continue the learning beyond the story
Part of the Big Six Safari collection, this beautifully illustrated children's book encourages confidence, emotional resilience, and healthy habits that children can use every day-because even leopards need a break!
