Growing up is tough. There's so much to learn, so many choices, and so many voices. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but the best we can do is breathe, think, and choose wisely. "Tammy's Talking Tummy: Trust Your Gut" written by Jessica D. Johnson, is a children's picture book intended to empower kids ages 4-8 toward personal agency and independent thought.

Through the practice of observation and social context children are able to develop and strengthen skills like communication and discernment. Ever-growing confidence and self-efficacy is what fosters our great leaders and decision makers of tomorrow. Tammy's journey is one full of valuable lessons in emotional regulation, accountability, and leaning into your intuition.
