From the Be and Breathe series of mindfulness picture books for ages 0-8, Fearful Bat gives little ones - and the grown-ups who guide them through fears - a gentle, story-driven tool for moving through worry, anxiety, and the wide-open dark.
When Bat can't sleep because the shadows feel too close, a gentle voice shows her what to do: take a breath, look around, and name the safe things she can find. Her room. Her bed. Her blankie. Her snuggy. The moon and the stars. Breath by breath, the fear gets quieter and the courage gets louder.
Fearful Bat teaches children a real, usable calming technique - deep breathing paired with grounding awareness - wrapped inside a tender rhyming story they'll ask to hear again and again.
Each page guides little ones through the same practice Bat is learning, making it easy for parents and caregivers to turn reading time into a calming bedtime ritual. With soothing rhythm, relatable moments, and dreamy anime-influenced illustrations, little ones will learn that fear is welcome here - and that bravery is just one breath away.The bedtime affirmation your little one will carry with them: I AM SAFE.

- Babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers ages 0-9
