Description

A companion picture book to Breathe Like a Bear that helps kids feel calm and ready to meet new classmates!

Breathe Like a Bear: First Day of School Worries is a companion picture book designed to help kids feel calm and prepared to meet new classmates.

Bear can't wait to go to her first day of school. But she and a few of her friends are also feeling a little anxious. Luckily, Owl has the perfect words for them all to say to calm the jitters and help them recognise the similarities we share under the trappings of our uniqueness.

Introducing a mantra for first-day—and any-day—worries, Breathe Like a Bear: First Day of School Worries uses an easy-to-follow breathing exercise, mindful prompts, and a soothing mantra that will help kids navigate their anxiety long after the final page. This prescriptive and teachable picture book is an invaluable tool for every child's early social-emotional education.
