Staying quiet and still is tough, but with the support of his teacher, he’s able to stay calm. This reassuring story explores the complex emotions surrounding school lockdown drills and includes helpful resources from a school psychologist and safety expert.</b><br><i>I wish today was like every other day.</i><br><i>But it isn’t.</i><br><i>Today my stomach is twisted in the middle</i><br><i>like a bunch of tissue paper butterflies.</i><br>During his school's lockdown drill, Henry tries to make himself as small, and still, and quiet as possible, but even though he knows it's <i>just a drill </i>and it's <i>not real</i>, he still doesn't like it. And even when the drill is over, it doesn't feel over for him. <br>Luckily, Henry's teacher is there to offer guidance and reassurance. Together, they practice breathing exercises and focus on what Henry can smell <i>right now</i> to help anchor him in the present. And, most importantly, they talk about his feelings until he feels safe—until the tissue paper butterflies in his stomach untwist and fly away. <br>With poetic prose and gentle artwork, this accessible picture book serves as an ideal starting point for discussions about lockdown drills and includes helpful resources for parents and teachers, such as discussion questions, a mindfulness exercise guide, and best practices for reducing the potential for trauma when conducting lockdown drills.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11568502</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11568502</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lucianovic, Stephanie V.W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11568502980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Finding Calm During School Lockdown Drills</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593652237/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hummingbird Season]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bloomsbury presents Hummingbird Season by Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic, read by Joel McVeagh.<br>A poignant and necessary story about finding hope during difficult times, set in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.<br>Archie's life—and the whole world—is turned upside down by Covid-19. Suddenly there are no more Friday night dinners out, no more going to school, no more hanging out with friends . . . no leaving the house at all. <br>Even though he's inside with his family all day every day, Archie can't help but feel more alone than ever before. While everyone else seems to be adapting to their new normal just fine, it's like Archie is permanently on mute, unable to find the words to describe how he feels—and sometimes, unable to find someone who will listen. The bright spot of Archie's days at home is watching and learning about the hummingbirds that feed outside his windows. But just when it seems like this could be what brings his family together again, California experiences its worst wildfire in history, and Archie's favorite hummingbird disappears. In a time when hope is hard to hold on to, Archie must find his voice and find hope once again.<br>Hummingbird Season is an honest and healing novel in verse documenting the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic and the things that bring us together when circumstances keep us apart.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10197772</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10197772</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lucianovic, Stephanie V.W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/10197772980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781547613182/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Touch the Sky]]></title><description><![CDATA[Praise for Touch the Sky by Stephanie V.

Vern longs to be one of the kids who swoop until their toes touch the sky. He heads to the swings and desperately tries to pump his legs, but he just can't get it. A chance encounter with precocious (and hilarious) Gretchen gives him just what he needs to know, and he finally learns to soar.
A story for every child on the cusp of learning something new who just needs an extra push to get there.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10283270</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10283270</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lucianovic, Stephanie V.
