Colin Finds Patience: A Gentle Lesson About Patience and Self-Control

By John W Hudson

Waiting can be hard-especially when warm chocolate chip cookies smell so delicious

When Gia takes a fresh tray of cookies from the oven, Chloe wants one right away. But the cookies are much too hot and must cool before they are safe to eat. As Chloe grows impatient and begins to lose her temper, her big brother Colin gently shows her how to become still, breathe slowly, and find something helpful to do while she waits.

With Colin's encouragement, Chloe discovers that patience takes practice-and that some things are worth waiting for

Colin Finds Patience is a warm and reassuring children's story that helps young readers understand how to remain calm, control their temper, and make better choices when waiting is difficult.

Written by John W. Hudson, who holds a master's degree in criminal justice and served as a law enforcement officer for 26 years, the Colin Finds Series was created to help young children develop the character, citizenship skills, and values they need throughout life.
