Meet Alpaca's newest friend, Koala Mini. This cuddly marsupial is featured in our 'Alpaca Will Be There' Board Book and helps remind children that they never have to go through hard things alone.

Stepping out and exploring the unknown world can be a bit stressful. This book teaches children to articulate their feelings, manage their anxiety, and share their worries with others. 

As children learn, grow, and dive into new experiences, it’s natural for challenges to arise. When children experience stress and anxiety, it can be helpful to lean on loved ones for support. In Alpaca’s story, children will learn that although difficult things may happen, they can share their worries with trusted friends, family, and community members to connect with their resilience and be reminded that they’re never alone.

With Reflect & Connect questions at the end, caregivers are supported in deepening their child’s understanding of this important emotional skill.
