Simon the Sloth’s Secret Strength is the first book in the Simon & Sally series and the ideal place to begin.

Through rhyme and relatable moments, children are introduced to emotional regulation skills such as slowing down, noticing feelings, and responding calmly when things feel overwhelming.
This book is especially suited to young children when read together with a parent, teacher, or therapist, making it a practical tool for emotional learning at home, in the classroom, or in therapeutic settings.
