Panic and the Happy Thought

by Kelley M Likes, Anne Soderborg (Illustrator)

Everything is going great as Rhyan follows her routine for leaving the house, until her Happy Thought lanyard isn’t where it’s supposed to be.

Leaving her house without her Happy Thought causes her panic and anxiety to sky-rocket!

I’ve lost my Happy Thought. What can I do?
I can’t not go to karate.
I can make another Happy Thought!
I’ll print out a picture of my karate class.
That didn’t work! I think I broke the printer!

With breathing basics, quick decisions, and finding someone else in need of a Happy Thought, Rhyan makes it to karate practice panic-free.

Targeted for children ages 7-8, this Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Quest is filled with colorful illustrations, helpful guides, breathing activities, and a spot for your own Happy Thoughts.

Includes a guide for helping your child establish routines to arrive panic-free!Kids 7 and 8
