Slumberkins: Ibex (2020)

When an Ibex is born, a light shines from the sky. A shower of stars connects them to the sky. Their light is a guide, helping the Ibex to feel things deeply. In fact, they feel so much that they see the world in a way others can't. This ability is a gift-but it can also be a struggle. A young Ibex is born with a big open heart and often feels the pain of the world when things go wrong. Do you relate to the Ibex? Do you feel so deeply that sometimes it's hard to let those feelings show? Come along with young Ibex as it learns to find inner peace, along with the courage to embrace the powerful emotions that move like an ocean within them. Slumberkins: Ibex gives children the courage to accept their deep feelings, rather than hide them. The story explains how to have emotional courage and build empathy, concluding with a mindfulness mantra at the end. Written by co-authors Kelly Oriard and Callie Christensen. Illustrated and published by Slumberkins.
