Hi, I'm Simina, the writer behind Little Stories.
For years, I tried to teach my nieces how to calm themselves when they felt nervous, agitated, or anxious. I knew the tool, breathing slow into the belly to settle the nervous system, but every time I explained it in adult words, it simply didn't land.
one Sunday, one story ~
So one Sunday, I stopped explaining. I put the teaching inside a story instead, with a little character called Bree, who lives deep in the centre of a very ordinary belly and learns to find her calm.
And it worked.
I shared the story with my family, then with other parents. The feedback amazed me: children weren't just listening. They were breathing. Placing their hands on their bellies. Asking to read it again. Parents kept asking me the same question: "Where can I get this for my kids?"
That question became Little Stories.
