Welcome to AnchorLeaf Hollow, where a thoughtful young sloth named Simon is learning that going slow isn't just okay-it's magical.
In Simon Says: Go Slow, Simon faces a challenge that leaves him feeling sad and disappointed... all because he's slower than the others. As his emotions grow from sadness to frustration and anger, readers are invited to journey alongside Simon through the lush and enchanting world of AnchorLeaf Hollow.
Through whimsical, magical encounters, Simon learns how his brain and body work together when big feelings show up, and most importantly-how to gently guide himself back to calm. Along the way, young readers will discover powerful emotional regulation skills like:
- Box breathing
- Grounding
- Externalizing thoughts
- Guided imagery
- Counting and pausing
Designed to be developmentally engaging and beautifully illustrated, this story weaves in therapeutic tools without ever feeling clinical. Thoughtful prompts throughout encourage children to reflect, connect, and try the skills right alongside Simon-making learning feel natural, fun, and empowering.
Written by a licensed mental health clinician, this story is inspired by a real-life sloth named Simon who serves as a beloved mental health ambassador in his community. Simon Says: Go Slow is a heartwarming, playful, and magical introduction to emotional wellness and mindfulness that kids will want to read again and again.
