Monty's Storm

By Mark Shiell

When things feel difficult, Monty tightens up.

In this warm and beautifully illustrated Australian story, Monty experiences what many children know well: fear, worry, and overwhelm can feel big and hard to understand. But as the storm builds, Monty begins to discover that these experiences are not just one solid thing. They can be noticed as smaller parts - pictures in the mind, words inside, and feelings in the body.

As the story unfolds, children are gently introduced to mindfulness skills that help them turn toward their experience with greater curiosity and clarity.

Monty's Storm offers a thoughtful and practical way for young readers to explore difficult feelings while building emotional awareness, resilience, and calm.

With guided practice included, this story invites children and the adults reading with them to continue the learning beyond the page.
