Mia and the Lesson in Our Reactions

By Cheyenne Moorman

Dear Pen Pal,

Have you ever reacted before you really thought about it?

When Mia's sewing machine is accidentally broken by her younger brother, she feels something BIG - anger. After all, she worked hard to earn it, and it means so much to her. But as her emotions rise, Mia begins to learn an important truth: while broken things can often be repaired, the way we react can leave a lasting impact.

With the gentle wisdom of her mom and a little honest reflection, Mia remembers times when she made mistakes too. She begins to understand that sometimes the most important lesson isn't what happens - it's how we respond.

In this heartfelt addition to the Mia series, young readers will discover:

How to pause before reacting
Why empathy changes everything
The difference between feelings and behavior
How to repair relationships
That growth often begins in difficult moments

Perfect for classrooms, families, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) discussions, Mia and the Lesson in Our Reactions helps children explore anger, responsibility, forgiveness, and self-control in a warm and relatable way.

Because sometimes the biggest lesson isn't in the mistake...

It's in the reaction.
