Breathe, Stu Pitt, Breathe

Stu Pitt is losing the battle against the bully inside his head… until a tiny blue Peace Pal shows him a better way. A gentle, empowering picture book that helps kids quiet negative self-talk and discover the peace already inside. When Stu has the worst day ever, the bully in his mind gets louder and meaner: “You’re clumsy… You’re a nobody… You’ll never get anything right.” Just when it becomes too much, a small blue Peace Pal named Gorfu appears with a calming glow and an important truth: Peace is always there—you just have to follow your breath to find it again. Through magical moments and simple breathing cues, Gorfu shows Stu how to silence the bully’s voice, feel his breath, and reconnect with the calm already inside him. Stu learns he doesn’t have to believe every mean thought—he can choose peace instead. Perfect for ages 6–10 who struggle with negative self-talk, overwhelm, teasing, “I’m not good enough” thoughts, and school or home stress. Parents and educators love the gentle approach to inner bullying, the empowering SEL tools, and the heartwarming artwork featuring Gorfu, the tiny mentor with a big glow. A comforting story kids return to again and again—because the lesson keeps helping. View Less
