Description
A heartwarming children's book about anxiety, emotions, courage, and growing confidence.
Leon is a shy little seahorse who worries about new experiences and often feels nervous when facing the unknown. When his class announces an exciting field trip to Plankton Park, a wave of anxiety begins to grow inside him. What if something goes wrong? What if he can't handle it?
Thankfully, Leon's caring teacher, Miss Pearl, shares simple strategies to help him understand his feelings, calm his worries, and find the courage hidden within.
Set in a magical underwater world, Leon, Sailing Through the Storm helps children recognize and talk about difficult emotions while learning healthy coping skills for anxiety and stress. Young readers will discover that being brave doesn't mean never feeling afraid. It means moving forward even when fear is present.
Perfect for children ages 3 to 10, parents, teachers, counselors, therapists, and caregivers will appreciate this gentle social-emotional learning story that encourages emotional awareness, resilience, self-confidence, and mental wellness.
