Ember Flare Finds Calm

A story about Big feelings

for your 1st Grader.

Ember stands by a group of glowing mushrooms, smiling happily. In the background, tall trees with glittering leaves.

Ember Flare is a curious, whimsical dragon who loves to explore. She lives in a bright, colorful forest, where leaves shimmer in many colors. Ember flaps her wings and smiles whenever she finds something new.

Ember runs joyfully with her friends along the colorful forest floor. In the background, a gentle breeze moves the tall grass.

Today, Ember plays with her forest friends. They chase each other through the soft grass. They laugh and twirl around the bright flowers.

A gathering of thick gray clouds moves across the sky. In the background, the forest trees bend in the gusty wind.

Suddenly, dark clouds gather overhead. A cold wind rustles the shimmering leaves. The air feels heavy and still.

Ember looks up at the stormy sky, her wings shaking slightly. In the background, raindrops splash on large leaves.

A big storm begins to roar. Ember feels her heart beat fast. Rain crashes down, and thunder booms. Ember's bright wings droop, and worry grows inside her.

Ember crouches beneath a dripping tree, looking upset. In the background, branches sway under the heavy rain.

Lightning flashes, making Ember jump in fear. She tries to hide under a wide tree, but the rain is too strong. Her forest friends scatter, and Ember feels very alone.

The wise owl friend lands near Ember, head tilted in concern. In the background, patches of wet grass glisten in the storm.

Just then, Ember’s wise owl friend glides down. The owl notices Ember's worried eyes. “Talk to me, Ember,” says the owl gently.

A cluster of bright flowers bends under the pounding rain. In the background, raindrops glimmer on the grass.

The owl says, “When big feelings grow, find a calm spot. Take slow, deep breaths and feel your body relax.” The storm keeps raging, but hope sparks in Ember’s heart.

Ember sits inside the hollow tree with the wise owl friend, looking calmer. In the background, the wind howls around the sturdy trunk.

Ember and her owl friend search for a dry place. They find a sheltered hollow in a large tree. Ember closes her eyes, breathing in and out.
