If he lets the fear of new experiences hold him back, he might miss the chance to discover activities he truly enjoys.
Ferdinand is excited to celebrate his birthday with all his friends by doing something he's never done before: yoga! But as soon as he steps onto the mat, he starts to feel nervous. What if he can't do the poses? What if he tips over and everyone laughs? Yoga is supposed to be calming, yet his mind won't stop worrying. With guidance and a little patience, Ferdinand slowly finds his balance, both on the mat and in his thoughts.
Ferdinand Finds Balance is an uplifting story about being brave, embracing friendship, and learning not to let worries keep you from trying something new. Inspired by yoga, a practice that began long ago in India, this story also gently shows how moving your body can help you feel more connected to your thoughts and feelings. Drawing on personal experience, author Julie Coen hopes that this book provides comfort, confidence, and reassurance to children navigating their emotions.
