Stop! Breathe! and Think! - Paperback

by Aytan Khalafova (Illustrator), Nesrine Ahmad Sleiman (Author)

A gentle story that teaches children how to handle big feelings with calm and confidence.

When Lemar's beautiful drawing disappears, her big emotions take over-sadness, anger, and frustration all at once! But with the help of her caring teacher, Ms. Nesrine, Lemar learns how to stop, breathe, and think before reacting.

Through this simple mindfulness technique, children discover that it's okay to feel upset-and that they have the power to calm their bodies, think clearly, and solve problems kindly.

Perfect for home, preschool, or classroom story time, Stop, Breathe, and Think supports social-emotional learning (SEL) by helping young readers:

• Recognize and name their emotions

• Practice breathing and self-calming strategies

• Build resilience, empathy, and confidence

A heart-warming resource for teachers, parents, and counselors who want to nurture emotional awareness and self-regulation in early learners.

Ideal for ages 3-7 - Aligned with CASEL & NAEYC SEL frameworks
