Emotional Regulation & Mindful Transitions
Stop the struggle with big emotions and reclaim the peace in your home. Our Calm Down Corner book bundle is a targeted solution for busy mums navigating the 'toddler years' and the inevitable tantrums that come with them. By designating a small, cozy space in your home filled with these intentional stories, you provide your child with a safe sanctuary to unwind and recharge.
This bundle features 'Willow the Wonderer' and 'Honey Time'—two artisan tales that introduce the vital skills of mindfulness and self-regulation through melodic rhyme. Whether it’s learning to find internal happiness or the 'sweet' lesson of slowing down, these books serve as a visual and rhythmic guide to help your child find their 'inner calm'. It’s more than a book set; it’s a proactive parenting tool for a more harmonious household.
Bonus: They learn phonics, counting (1–15), and colors while picking up important lessons in mindfulness and emotional regulation. The perfect combination for busy mums and bubs to end the day with.
"Love it and so do the kids !! The detail in the pictures adding another dimension to the story so each time we read it they are counting and searching and creating their own dream — Leanne W. (Mum) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Overview of the Books in the Bundle:
Book 1: Willow the Wonderer - Timeless insight into inner happiness
- The story: Willow wakes up one morning with a very big question: "Where is happiness?" and sets off on an epic quest through a world of wonder. He travels through vibrant landscapes and meets marvellous creatures, searching high and low. But the more he looks "out there," the more elusive happiness seems to be.
- The Wisdom: Through a beautiful epiphany, Willow discovers a profound life lesson: Happiness isn't something you find in things and places, but within ourselves.
- Educational Goal: Numeracy (Counting), Visual Literacy, and Rhyming.
Book 2: Honey Time - A sweet lesson in slowing down
- The Story: Willow wakes up bursting with infinite ideas for play. He decides to go 'hard and fast', creating an almighty ruckus. The Queen Bee intervenes, encasing Willow in a huge blob of honey!
- The Wisdom: The honey forces Willow to slow down. He lets go of the chaos of 'doing it all' for the quiet joy of being present — an important life lesson that leads to contentment.
- Educational Goal: Colours, Phonics, and Mindfulness.
"I bought them (Books 1 & 2) as a present for my Grandsons birthday. I read them to my daughter who is 8 months pregnant as I could not wait! They are just so beautiful the rhythm of the rhymes and the wonderful illustrations." — Martine W (Grandparent). ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A note from the author and illustrator:
"Willow the Wonderer started as a shared dream to write stories that plant seeds of wisdom in young minds; seeds that hopefully blossom with time and guide our young readers in their journey through life. We also wanted the books to make early childhood learning effortless. But mostly we wanted to create beautiful stories that the little ones (and big ones) simply fall in love with. These are stories we wish we'd grown up with."
