Fern's Calm Countdown: A Grounding Story About Feeling Calm at a Loud Halloween Party, for Kids Ages 4-7 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798193698791)

Fern loves her soft, puffy cloud costume, cozy and quiet, just like she likes things. But today is the big, loud Halloween party at school, and just thinking about it makes her whole body feel jumbled up.

With a simple counting trick from Dad: 5 things you see, 4 you touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste, Fern discovers a way to find her calm even in the loudest, busiest room. And when she spots another overwhelmed classmate covering her ears, Fern's trick is ready to help her too.

Perfect for:

• Kids who feel overwhelmed by loud, crowded, or sensory-heavy events
• Children who need a grounding technique for parties, assemblies, or busy spaces
• Parents and caregivers looking for a real, practical sensory-regulation tool
• A calming, not-too-spooky Halloween read for sensitive kids

With soft, soothing cartoon illustrations set against a festive backdrop, Fern's Calm Countdown reminds every child that even the loudest moments can be counted back down to calm.

A comforting Halloween gift for kids ages 4-7 who feel things intensely.
