Curiously Calm with Curious George by H. A. Rey, Margret Rey

Mindfulness meets monkey business! Curiously Calm with Curious George follows everyone’s favorite monkey as he works to regulate big energy and emotions.

All feelings are OK, but sometimes our feelings don’t make us feel good. In this reassuring book, kids and grownups will learn soothing and fun practices to try when they’re looking for that curiously calm feeling. Featuring original artwork from Margret and H.A. Rey’s timeless picture books, and a text by psychologist Dawn Huebner, PhD, this book encourages readers to breathe deeply alongside everyone’s favorite curious little monkey, Curious George.

Helpful backmatter includes more information about emotional regulation and tips for guiding kids on how to cope with their feelings.

H. A. Rey and his wife, Margret, first introduced the world to the bighearted, fun-loving troublemaker-hero Curious George in 1941, and young readers have been in love with him ever since.

Margret and H. A. Rey created many books during their lives together, including Curious George, one of the most treasured classics of all time, as well as other favorites like Pretzel, Spotty, and Find the Constellations. They had many pets—including two marmoset monkeys that joined them on one of their steamship journeys across the Atlantic. Committed philanthropists in their own lives, a portion of proceeds from each Curious George book sold flows to the Curious George Foundation, which funds programs for children that encourage inquisitiveness in learning and exploring. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy-winning television show on PBS and “Pretzel and the Puppies,” based on their picture books, is a streaming series on Apple TV+. www.curiousgeorge.com www.pretzelandthepuppies.com
