Most of the time Corrie is a playful, energetic little squirrel monkey, but sometimes situations arise where he is overwhelmed by feelings out of his control. No one can contain Cori’s distress, until his mother resorts to slow meditative breathing. The leaf ants help guide mother and child to a place of calm and quiet in the rain forests of South America!

Many parents and children will be familiar with this experience in public places. Helpful teachers notes and reference material are in the ‘Additional Information’ tab, designed to trigger discussions with activities on Feelings, expressing them through Creative Writing, Story Sequencing, Vocabulary, etc. Thanks to The EMAS team at Rochdale Council, UK.
