Welcome to Mindful Minions: A Calm and Cozy Storybook Corner, where we turn the chaos of childhood into something almost zen-like—emphasis on almost. Here, children aged 3-6 gather 'round for story time that's less once upon a time and more what if dinosaurs practiced yoga? Our team of storytellers and activity gurus will read tales that captivate your minions while also slipping in a little emotional regulation on the sly. Think of it as sneaky therapy, but with dragons and princesses.
Interactive activities keep the fun rolling and the wiggles at bay (fingers crossed), all while teaching your kids how to navigate those big, messy feelings. And hey, we totally get that each child is their own little tornado of emotions, which is why we encourage them to bring along their own cozy sidekick—a blanket, a stuffed animal, or heck, even a favorite pair of socks. Because let’s face it, being emotionally balanced is way easier when you’re wrapped up in something snuggly.
So, join us Mindful Minions, where we might not have it all figured out, but we're having a darn good time trying. Come for the stories, stay for the sanity-saving life hacks.

A Grandpa Joe Day: Bill Shea
“Billy has been waiting for this day forever: his grandpa, Joe, is taking him to his favorite amusement park. When Billy wakes up that morning, he looks out the window and sees that it is raining hard. He quickly turns on the news to get the weather report. The weather person says, "Sorry, kids, but today looks like a washout." Billy becomes worried that Grandpa Joe won't come and the day will be canceled because of the weather. Will the day be a washout? Or one of the best days ever? Find out in this inspiring and whimsical illustrated picture book from first-time author/illustrator Bill Shea. This book is dedicated to his grandfather, Joe, who never gave up on a mission in the spirit of sharing love and creating lasting memories.”
