Join The Bedtime Brigade!
This series of children's picture books features a huggable crew of stuffed animal friends working to help young readers process 'big feelings' across relatable situations. Each story introduces a new plush pal, within the context of bedtime, who somehow lends his or her fur to facilitate conversation, emotional expression, and problem-solving. The Snuggle Time Talk discussion questions that follow take learning a step further by helping readers integrate their own experiences.
In Super Bear and the Big Move, Super Bear swoops in to help conquer anxious feelings about a family move. He teaches Parker that, while new adventures can be a little scary at first, they can be super exciting, too! Take flight with Super Bear and Parker as they discover the fun in a big move!
Why The Bedtime Brigade? The Heart Behind the Stories
"Within the world's ever-changing social climate, the minds and hearts of our children have a great deal more to manage. They need relatable tools to process challenging circumstances, reframe their perspectives, and adapt to situations with resiliency. The Bedtime Brigade stories are designed to empower children to self-regulate and find a forward-thinking path through difficult scenarios by embracing their natural questions and validating 'big feelings.' "
