About the Mindful Bay Stories
The Mindful Bay children’s book series was created by educator and author Perri Britt to help children develop mindfulness, emotional awareness, and resilience through storytelling.
Inspired by years of working with children in classrooms, these stories introduce young readers to a calming underwater world filled with characters who learn to pause, breathe, try again, and care for one another.
Through gentle storytelling and relatable experiences, children are invited to:
• notice their feelings
• practice calm breathing
• develop perseverance
• build empathy and kindness
• understand that mistakes are part of learning
The books are used by families, educators, and classrooms looking for simple ways to support children’s social-emotional development and mindfulness skills.
