About This Story

A smooth green pebble becomes part of Miles’ practice of pausing and noticing feelings. This everyday story explores the space between having a feeling and choosing a response when something goes wrong.

Read this story together at your child’s pace. The pictures and the character’s choices can be a starting point for noticing feelings and asking questions, rather than searching for a correct response. A child may want to talk, point to an illustration or simply listen. Leave room for their own interpretation, and return to a favourite moment if they wish. The suggested age range and themes help you choose a book; they do not set a test for how a child should understand or respond to the story.
