Children's Books

12 months & up. Just breathe! Temper tantrums and meltdowns are no laughing matter. Many young children act out because they do not know how to express themselves or handle their strong emotions and it causes misery all around. This constructive book is packed full of beautiful illustrations and rhythmic text that will help encourage children to work through their strong emotions in a calm and controlled way. They need to know that they can access a quiet, safe space to cry, ask for hugs, and talk about their feelings. Sometimes it is important to just take a break and just "Calm-Down." Written by the award-winning author-illustrator team Elizabeth Verdick and Marieka Heinlen. 24 pages. Board book.
