The Space In Between Book One: The Day the Picnic Was Cancelled Helping children discover the space between feelings and actions

$0.00

Little Rabbit had been looking forward to the family picnic all week. Then it rained, really rained, and the picnic was cancelled. What follows is a big feeling, a thrown bucket, and a sister who doesn't try to fix it. She simply comes and sits beside him, quietly holding the moment, until it begins to pass on its own.

Written by a clinical psychologist, this gentle story is grounded in real psychological understanding, containment, co-regulation, and attunement, the quiet, wordless ways a calm presence can help a child's big feelings settle, long before any advice is given.

At the heart of the story is a simple, visual idea children can hold onto: the little orange square. It's a reminder that there is always a tiny space between what happens and what we do next, and that space is where a different choice becomes possible.

Includes a note for grown-ups explaining the psychology behind the story, and a simple activity for making your own Orange Space Square at home.

Remember... there is always a little Space in Between.
