Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Courage Finds His Calm

Lisa Watson · 2025
70/100
👍 Worth It

A genuinely useful addition to the social-emotional learning shelf for very young children — the breathing techniques are presented simply enough that a toddler can follow them, and the bunny characters are inviting. New enough that long-term reception is still forming, and the brief format cannot do deep work, but for a read-aloud that actually teaches something practical it delivers.
