Description
by Johanna Farris (Author), Yogi Pranata (Illustrator)
The story "The Big Hike and the Quiet Reset" follows Sammy Squirrel as he prepares for the forest's highly anticipated "Big Hike." Overwhelmed by excitement and running late, Sammy's emotions become too big to handle. He begins stomping, shouting, and throwing acorns, which makes his forest friends uncomfortable.
Unable to join the group, Sammy stays behind with Pearl the Porcupine, a supportive mentor who helps him find a quiet "nook" in a great oak tree to reset and calm down. Meanwhile, his friends, including Willow the Fox and Sadie Squirrel, discuss how everyone experiences the world differently and can sometimes need extra support or space to calm their bodies.
Demonstrating true kindness, Terry Turtle later invites Sammy on a "not-so-big" hike for the following day. The book concludes with a "Message for the Adults," emphasizing:
Choosing curiosity over judgment.
The importance of emotional regulation tools.
Creating a supportive environment for those with behavioral challenges.
It serves as a gentle lesson on inclusivity, empathy, and the value of providing a "safety net" for friends when they struggle.
