The Little Worry Bear. A Soothing Bedtime Story for Anxious Children Ages 4-8 About Worries, Calm Breathing, and Letting Go - Quiet Season Press

Bruno has wonderful days. But at night, his thoughts don't know how to sleep.

When little worry-lights begin to glow above Bruno's bed, he doesn't know what to do - until Grandma Bear shows him a quiet way to say hello to his worries, breathe slow as a flower, and let them drift up to the moon.

The Little Worry Bear is a gentle bedtime story for thinker-children, sensitive kids, and the grown-ups who love them. Perfect for ages 4 to 8, especially children who:

• Have trouble winding down at bedtime
• Worry about big things and small things
• Need help naming their feelings
• Benefit from quiet, calming routines

A three-step practice gently woven into the story:

1. Naming the worry - bringing feelings into the open
2. Slow breathing - like smelling a flower and blowing a dandelion
3. Letting go - releasing worries to a safe place

With warm illustrations, a soothing read-aloud rhythm, and a tender ending designed to slow children down toward sleep, The Little Worry Bear is a bedtime book that does more than entertain - it gives families a shared language for the moments when little hearts need extra care.

Includes a Note for Grown-Ups with the practice explained in plain language for parents, grandparents, and caregivers.

Sleep tight.
