A hard moment doesn’t have to turn into a whole bad day.
The Bad Day Story Buddy Collection pairs Frann Preston-Gannon’s thoughtful picture book with a handmade squirrel and an original activity card designed to carry the story into movement, conversation and imaginative play.
Children can take part in a Woodland Rescue Mission, move like the forest animals and help their Story Buddy safely along the way. Afterward, simple prompts help them talk about difficult moments, consider what might make things a little better and practice a gentle four-step reset: Stop, Breathe, Name and Next Step.
Created especially for preschoolers and early learners, this collection gives children a comforting, playful way to explore feelings, helping others and beginning again after something goes wrong.
