Zigzag Zander and the Puzzle of Feelings

A story about Sadness

for your Preschooler.

Zigzag Zander stands under tall green trees, holding puzzle pieces. In the background, tiny birds perched on branches

Zigzag Zander is a curious zombie. He lives in a bright forest. He loves puzzles and fun games.

Zigzag Zander sits on a soft log, looking down. In the background, gentle sunbeams shining through leaves

One morning, Zigzag Zander feels sad. He does not know why.

Zigzag Zander touches a bright flower, with a frown on his face. In the background, colorful butterflies dancing near tall grass

He hears birds sing. He sees fluttering butterflies. But he still feels blue.

A sparkling map with puzzle shapes is spread out on the forest floor. In the background, winding dirt trails among leafy bushes

A shiny map appears on the ground. It shows a secret puzzle path.

Zigzag Zander walks forward, holding the shiny map up to his face. In the background, tall ferns lining a narrow path

"Maybe this will help me feel better," says Zigzag Zander. He follows the map into the trees.

Zigzag Zander stands next to a friendly, big bear with soft fur. In the background, colorful wildflowers around tall tree trunks

Suddenly, Zigzag Zander meets Benny the bear. Benny smiles kindly.

A smooth, round puzzle piece lies brightly on the mossy ground. In the background, tiny mushrooms growing near rocks

Benny says, "I feel sad sometimes too. It is okay to share how we feel."

Zigzag Zander looks at Benny with worried eyes. In the background, gentle rays of sun shining past tall leaves

Zigzag Zander nods. "I feel sad, Benny. I do not know why," he says.
