Juno and the Long Way Up: A Story About Big Feelings on a Big Mountain
Juno the mountain goat is going to reach the summit today. She's sure of it. But when her legs finally carry her to the top... the mountain keeps going. The real top is still a long way off and she has already used up almost everything she brought.
What happens next is the reason this book exists. No pep talk. No "you can do it " Just old Nan, sitting quietly beside her, and three simple steps a child can carry with them anywhere:
Look back. Breathe three. Begin again.
Juno and the Long Way Up is a watercolor picture book about false summits - the shoe that won't tie, the reading level that goes up again right when you got there, the project that just keeps going - and what to do when the whole thing suddenly feels too big.
It's a book about perseverance that never once says the word.
Inside you'll find:
A quiet, read-slowly story built for bedtimeA simple three-step calming rhythm kids can use anywhere - the kitchen, the car, or a real trailA Letter from the Trail for grown-ups on how to sit with a child's big feelings without rushing to fix themRead-aloud discussion questions with no wrong answersTry-It-Together activities: the Look-Back Walk, Three Mountain Breaths, and "What's My Next Stone?"For children ages 3-8 who are learning to sit with frustration - and for the parents, grandparents, teachers, and counselors helping them do it. A meaningful birthday, back-to-school, or "first big hike" gift.
