Synopsis

My Guard Dog and Me: Wren's First Halloween
Big Feelings, Little Helpers: Tools for Emotional Regulation

Halloween is coming, and Wren can already feel it - a fizzy, mixed-up feeling right in her chest. It isn't fear exactly. It's her Guard Dog: the small, loud part of her that barks BIG at every surprise, just in case. Doorbells. Costumes. A boom from down the street. Wren's Guard Dog has a lot to say about all of it.

With Mama's help, Wren spends the week before Halloween learning four gentle tools - one a day - so nothing catches her off guard. She learns to find three little things she can see when her mind starts racing. She learns to squish her toes down and feel the steady ground beneath her. She learns to skip and sing out whatever's fizzing inside her. And she learns that sometimes, the bravest thing is simply to hold still.

When Halloween night comes - full of shrieking laughter, booming jack-o'-lanterns, and a neighborhood dog with a bark as big as her own - Wren discovers her helpers really do work. Not because her Guard Dog stops barking, but because she now knows what to do when it does.

Written in warm, rhyming verse and grounded in real self-regulation strategies, My Guard Dog and Me offers young readers a gentle reframe: big feelings don't need to disappear before a child can cope with them. They just need somewhere to go.

This third title in the Big Feelings, Little Helpers series follows the same structure as its companion books - a relatable childhood moment, a simplified brain-science metaphor, and a hands-on toolkit children can practice long before they need it. Caregiver prompts throughout, plus a closing parent guide, help grown-ups extend the tools into everyday life.

Perfect for read-aloud sharing, My Guard Dog and Me turns one of the year's most overwhelming nights into an opportunity for connection, confidence, and calm.
