With simple, repetitive phrases, this feelgood story about bravery helps toddlers understand that everyone gets scared sometimes, and that’s okay!
Frea loved to twirl and jump.
Twirling, twirling! Jumping, jumping!
One day, Frea saw big kids doing twirls.
Their twirls were so high!
Their jumps were so big!
Frea’s tummy felt funny.
“I’m scared,” said Frea.
Ms. Rosie gave Frea a big smile.
“Everyone gets scared sometimes,” said Ms. Rosie.
“But you have something special inside you.
You have a brave heart!”
“Where is my brave heart?” asked Frea.
“Let’s find it together!” said Ms. Rosie.
“Take a big breath in…” whoosh
“And out…” whoosh
“That’s your brave heart growing stronger!”
Frea took another breath.
Whoosh in.
Whoosh out.
She felt a little braver!
Frea saw another little girl.
The little girl looked scared, too.
“Want to twirl with me?” asked Frea.
They twirled together!
Twirling, twirling!
They jumped together!
Jumping, jumping!
Sometimes they wobbled.
But that was okay!
They tried again.
And again!
Ms. Rosie gave Frea a special green ribbon.
“This ribbon is for being brave,” she said.
Frea wore her green ribbon and twirled.
She wore her green ribbon and jumped.
Now, when Frea feels scared, she remembers:
Take a big breath, whoosh
Find a friend
Try again
And listen to her brave heart!
The End
