Fern and the Forest Flutter is a soft and soothing story that teaches kids how to feel calm, safe, and steady-no matter what fluttery feelings come their way.
When Fern the fox feels a strange flutter in her chest, she doesn't know what to do. But her wise friend Olive the owl gently guides her through a special exercise that helps her feel grounded again: the 5-4-3-2-1 technique.
Together, they take in the forest around them-five things they can see, four they can touch, three they can hear, two they can smell, and one thing they love. Slowly, Fern's flutter begins to fade.
This cozy, nature-based story introduces a powerful coping skill in a way that's easy for young children to understand and use.
