What if your child could ride life’s emotional waves instead of being knocked down by them? When 11-year-old Stanley misses the perfect sunrise wave, frustration crashes over him like a storm. But just when his emotions feel too big to handle, two unexpected friends appear: 🦀 Snappy , the quick-clicking crab who sounds the alarm—“Big feelings ahead!” 🐢 Sage , the wise turtle who gently guides him to S.A.I.L.™ —a simple four-step method to calm the storm inside. Together, they help Stanley Stop, Anchor, Investigate, and Lead , turning a moment of disappointment into a powerful lesson in emotional courage. Stanley, Snappy, and Sage is more than a story—it’s a tool. Perfect for ages 6–11, this beautifully illustrated picture book gives kids (and the grownups who love them) a practical, empowering way to name, understand, and navigate their emotions. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or therapist, this story will quickly become a go-to resource for helping children build confidence, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence—one wave at a time.
