Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. My Guard Dog and Me: Wren's First HalloweenBig Feelings, Little Helpers: Tools for Emotional RegulationHalloween 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.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. My Thumb and Me A gentle picture book about growing calm, one breath at a time For as long as she can remember, Wren's thumb has been her quietest friend - always there, always warm, never asking her to explain. But big school is starting soon, and Wren has overheard the grown-ups talking: she really should stop before school starts. She wants to be brave. She wants to be ready. But her thumb doesn't come with a plan - it just arrives, all on its own, whenever the world feels too loud, too bright, or too much. When Wren finally whispers the truth - "I don't know how to stop" - her mama doesn't rush her. Instead, she sits down on the floor, right at Wren's eye level, and says the words every anxious child needs to hear: "You don't have to know yet. We're going to find out together." What follows is a warm, sensory journey through five simple tools any child can learn: a hand resting on a steady heartbeat, a slow breath blown out like a candle flame, a calming square traced in the air, a quiet rhythm of fingertip taps, and a low secret hum that settles the whole body. None of them replace Wren's thumb overnight - they simply give her more than one way through. My Thumb and Me is written for children ages 3-6 who are approaching a big transition - starting school, a new sibling, a change in routine - and for the grown-ups who want to support them with patience instead of pressure. Rather than treating a comfort habit as something to eliminate quickly, this story widens a child's toolkit gently, at their own pace, without shame or urgency. Told entirely from Wren's own point of view, the book invites real co-regulation between caregiver and child, with gentle physical prompts woven throughout - breathing together, tracing shapes, feeling a heartbeat - so families can practice these tools as they read, not just talk about them. Soft, watercolor-style illustrations bring Wren's world to life with warmth and tenderness, making this a comforting bedtime read and a lasting resource for calming moments long after the last page. A gentle companion for little ones learning that growing up doesn't mean letting go all at once - it means discovering just how many ways there are to feel steady. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. My Teeth and MeA Gentle Story About Self-Soothing, Body Awareness, and Feeling Brave - Wren's First Visit to the DentistFor many young children, a first trip to the dentist is the first time they're asked to sit still, open wide, and trust a stranger with something as personal as their own mouth - all under bright lights, in a chair that tips back further than any chair at home. It's no wonder so many small bodies respond with a twisty tummy, a racing heart, or a flat "I don't want to go."My Teeth and Me follows Wren, a little girl who feels exactly that way, through the week leading up to her appointment. Rather than rushing her fear away or promising her there's "nothing to be scared of," Wren's mama does something different: she helps Wren build a small toolkit of calming helpers, one at a time, so that by appointment day, Wren isn't walking into the unknown empty-handed.Each day of the week before her appointment, Wren learns a new tool: A secret toe wiggle only Wren can feel - a private, invisible way to feel grounded, even mid-appointment.A playful "statue" game that turns sitting still into something she chooses, rather than something done to her.A quiet raised-palm signal that lets her ask for a pause, and know she'll be heard.A gentle hand squeeze - a tiny, portable hug she can carry anywhere, no equipment needed.By the time Wren climbs into the dentist's chair, she isn't facing the unknown for the first time - she has real, practiced ways to meet her fear, and she uses every one of them, one tooth at a time.Written in warm, rhyming verse and paired with embedded caregiver prompts on nearly every page, this story is designed to be read with a child, not just to them. Grown-ups are invited to practice each technique together in the days before their own child's appointment, so the tools feel familiar rather than brand new in the moment that matters most - whether that's a dentist's chair, a doctor's office, or any new experience that brings on big feelings.Being brave was never about not feeling scared. It's about feeling the fear fully, and still knowing what to do - and having somewhere for that feeling to go.That's the gentle reframe at the heart of this book, offered not as a lecture but as something Wren discovers for herself, page by page, helper by helper.Inside, you'll also find: A short "Author's Note for Grown-Ups" explaining the thinking behind each calming technique.A parenting guide with practical tips for before, during, and after the appointment.Caregiver prompts woven into the story, so the book doubles as a hands-on practice guide, not just a read-aloud.My Teeth and Me is part of the Little Helpers series - gentle stories for big feelings, each one built around a real moment young children face (a first appointment, a new sibling, a big night out) and a small, practiced toolkit of self-regulation tools they can carry into it.A tender, practical companion for any child facing something new, and a lovely way to turn dentist-visit dread into a shared ritual of confidence-building long before the appointment ever begins.Perfect for: Children ages 3-5 preparing for a first or difficult dentist visitParents and caregivers looking for calm, practical tools for anxious momentsPreschool and kindergarten classrooms building emotional regulation skillsAnyone who wants a gentle, rhyming bedtime story with real substanceAges 3-5.

A toddler asks why the sky is blue at full volume in the grocery store.
