Princess Poppy and the Loud, Loud Day
A Social Emotional Learning Story About Big Feelings, Anxiety, and Finding Calm
Some days feel too loud. Too busy. Too much.
Princess Poppy is having one of those days.
From spilled milk at breakfast to honking geese in the courtyard, from a noisy market to the urgent lighting of the signal fire, everything feels overwhelming. The sounds are louder. The mistakes feel bigger. And her emotions begin to rise.
But what if the goal isn't to quiet the world...
What if it's learning how to steady yourself inside it?
In this beautifully illustrated social emotional learning (SEL) story, children will gently explore:
- Emotional regulation skills for kids
- Coping strategies for anxiety and overwhelm
- Managing sensory overload
- Calming techniques and breathing
- Resilience after mistakes
- Trying again when things go wrong
Princess Poppy and the Loud, Loud Day is a powerful read-aloud for children ages 4-8 who experience big feelings, strong emotions, sensitivity to noise, or anxiety in busy environments.
Perfect for:
- Parents raising emotionally sensitive children
- Classroom teachers teaching social emotional skills
- School counselors and therapists
- Homeschool families
- Bedtime calming routines
This story encourages confidence, self-awareness, and emotional strength - without shame, pressure, or perfection.
Because sometimes the bravest thing a child can do...
is pause, breathe, and try again.
