The Storm Inside

"The Storm Inside" is a charming children's book that follows Ollie, a young bear in a seaside town, whose dreams of ocean adventures come to life when he's invited on a sea voyage, despite his nervousness about new experiences and meeting new people.

Ollie's story is a heartfelt exploration of emotional regulation and self-soothing techniques. The book beautifully illustrates how self-awareness and mindfulness can help children navigate big emotions and stressful situations. Ollie's repeated affirmation of his inherent goodness and kindness reinforces a positive self-image and the understanding that emotions are transient and manageable.
