Tinks & The Bravery Stone

A hug of a story for little worriers.

Some days feel bigger than others. Tinks the bunny wants to be brave, but when things go different her ears droop and her tummy flips. With a smooth stone in her paw and three slow breaths, she discovers a tiny routine that helps big feelings feel smaller. Tinks & the Bravery Stone invites children to slow down, breathe, and find their next little step at school, at bedtime, or anytime they need a reset.
