Explore ways children all around the world find ways to stay calm
This charming picture book for children aged 4 plus, illustrated by Ukrainian-American artist Sofia Moore, explores times when children find it difficult to find calm and offers some great solutions. Mia and Jackson just can't calm down at bedtime. Meanwhile, around the world, Akiki finds his calm by doing some wild drawing, Li Wei gets over losing his balloon by watching the clouds go by, and Maryam gets out of her sulk by listening to music. What will work for Mia and Jackson?
The book is packed with different situations and explores ways we can find calm, such as breathing exercises, hugs and letting out your feelings. The situations range from bedtime, parties and overwhelmingly busy places to times when we are angry, upset or sad.
Finding Calm is part of the series A World Full of Feelings, which explores emotions and feelings and depicts different cultures around the world through the illustrations, promoting cultural understanding and empathy. The other titles are Finding Courage, Finding Happiness and Finding Kindness.
