The Calm Down Corner

(Benji the Beagle's Big Feelings)

When Benji and his class learn something in Science — that some animals have been used in testing — many of the children feel big, overwhelming emotions. Some feel angry. Some feel sad. Others don’t know what to feel at all.

Benji understands that strong feelings can be hard to handle. So, they make a special place in the classroom — the Calm Down Corner.

In this quiet, comforting space, Benji gently helps the children learn how to pause, breathe, and understand their feelings. Together, they discover that when emotions feel too big, there are kind and helpful ways to calm their minds and hearts.

The Calm Down Corner is a thoughtful story that helps children explore difficult emotions while learning healthy ways to calm down and care for themselves and others.
