Ember Flare and the Storm of Feelings

A story about Big feelings

for your 2nd Grader.

Ember Flare stands at the edge of the forest, scanning the towering trees with wide eyes. In the background, tall trees sway gently.

Ember Flare was a curious dragon who lived in a bright forest. Tall trees stretched high, and sunlight sparkled through the leaves. Ember Flare woke up each day eager to explore new nooks and hidden paths.

Ember Flare stands on a mossy log, listening to the songbirds overhead. In the background, a calm stream ripples.

Early one morning, Ember Flare hopped on a mossy log and peered across a small stream. Ember heard bird songs filling the air, each note making Ember’s heart dance with joy.

Ember Flare glances up at the gathering storm clouds with a worried expression. In the background, heavy clouds block the sunlight.

Suddenly, gray clouds slipped over the sun. The day turned dim, and a chilly wind began to blow. Ember Flare felt a tingle of worry in every scale.

Raindrops splash on a cluster of bright green ferns. In the background, lightning flickers.

Thunder boomed, and raindrops pelted the ground. Ember Flare’s wings trembled as the sky flashed with lightning. Wanting to hide, Ember sped toward a large tree trunk for shelter.

Ember Flare stands close to Elder Pine, listening to his soft words of guidance. In the background, large branches bend under the rain.

Before Ember Flare could curl into a ball, a calm voice spoke. It was Elder Pine, an old dragon with kind eyes. “Deep breaths can help when you’re scared,” Elder Pine said gently. Ember Flare sniffed, blinking away tears.

Ember Flare, eyes shut tight, breathes slowly beside Elder Pine. In the background, raindrops race down the leaves.

Ember Flare tried to breathe in and out slowly, just as Elder Pine suggested. The thunder still roared, and Ember’s heart pounded. But Ember whispered, “I can do this,” while trembling from the noise.

A broken branch hangs from a towering pine tree. In the background, swirling winds rattle the forest.

Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind shook the branches. Ember Flare opened wings to take off, hoping to escape the storm. Crack! A broken branch crashed down, forcing Ember to duck and stumble.

Ember Flare stands beside Elder Pine, sharing worries under the swaying trees. In the background, the storm clouds churn overhead.

Elder Pine nodded calmly. “When big feelings hit, talk to someone you trust. Speak your fear and let it out.” Ember Flare took a shaky breath. “I’m scared,” Ember admitted softly. “The thunder makes my whole body shake.”
