of Anchoring
A gentle, illustrated picture book that helps children build confidence and understand their feelings through story. Perfect for ages 3 to 7, Lala & the Magic of Anchoring offers calm, reassuring moments for shared reading and bedtime.
Lala's Story
Lala has a special gift – she knows how to help others feel calm, brave and positive, even when things feel a little overwhelming. As she meets animals who are worried, shy or unsure of themselves, Lala shows them a simple way to reconnect with their happiest, strongest feelings. With kindness, imagination and reassurance, she helps them discover that those feelings are always within reach.
Written in soothing rhyme and designed for shared reading, this story introduces children to emotional self-regulation in a way that feels natural, comforting and age-appropriate. At the back of the book, adults are gently guided through the anchoring technique used in the story, offering a practical tool families can explore together.
