A five minute courage story for preschoolers.

Marina’s feelings were big and bright. Some days, she’d play, laugh, and dance; her feelings were a joyful ballet. Sometimes, she wanted to stomp, shout, and cry, her feelings a flame of anger and hard to tame! Sadness made everything seem dull and gray.

One sunny day, Marina met a wolf pup full of glee, They bounced so high up on the trampoline, carefree! “Your wild heart shines!” the wolf pup yipped with a grin, “Wildwood awaits, where big feelings spin!”

Wolf pup bounces on the trampoline in our courage story.

“Your wild heart holds magic,” he said, soft and true, “In Wildwood, everyone has big feelings, just like you.”

With a blink and a swirl, Marina was in Wildwood. A new adventure for this little girl! Feathers and fur, and funny sounds,

The Wild Ones greeted her all around.

Nyx, the furry one, looked worried. “My feelings get stormy!” he said with a sigh. The others agreed that feelings can feel way too big.

Together, they discovered the forest’s calm. Breathing slowly by a waterfall, worries floated away.

Naming their feelings so true. Was a big step in knowing what to do.

Wolf Pup said find a feather for luck. Hold it tight when you need to feel brave. Remember you’re strong, and saying kind words so sweet to yourself is the way to feel at peace!

Everyone hugging goodbye, and she blinked her eyes fast.

Back in her bed, a single black feather lay on her pillow so white, a reminder of Wildwood and her own inner light.

A single black feather on Marina's bed

Marina smiled, no longer afraid; her wild, wonderful heart knew the way to be brave!

Off to dreamland Marina did go. Big feelings were okay; she’d learned that tonight! Give your feelings a name, breathe slow and deep, and always be kind to yourself.  With this practice, she would ride the waves of her wonderful heart.

The end.
