About this book
After frightening disruptions at school, Zoe notices her heart racing and her tummy tightening. A teacher’s reassurance helps, but she still has questions about what will happen if another difficult moment begins.
With encouragement from Kai and support from adults at school, Zoe learns a plan: Notice, Tell, Move, and Keep Telling when she still needs help. Her conversations give words to feelings and needs that can be hard to explain.
This illustrated story opens a conversation about speaking up, seeking support, and listening when a child says something does not feel right.
Read together to discuss the body clues Zoe notices, the people she turns to, and how adults can help. Pause to consider what a caring response could sound like.
