Get Me Out of This Book

A bookmark learns to use deep breathing, planning, and positive self-talk to conquer his fear of scary books. Max the bookmark hates scary books–until his coach teaches him the rules and tools for being brave. Max learns to (1) breathe deeply, (2) make a plan, and (3) think positive thoughts. He puts his new tools into practice and overcomes his fear of a snake, roaches, a skeleton, and monsters. This humorous story packs a big punch as it introduces children to mindfulness, self-regulation, self-control, and other techniques for dealing with stress and overcoming fear.
