This summer comes a breath of fresh air for the bookshelf; a wonderful STEM story that follows Femi as he overcomes his fears and battles with anxiety before the Science Fair.

Meet Femi, a hardworking little boy whose nerves can sometimes get the better of him. One evening, Femi is showing his grandma the wind machine he has built but when it doesn’t work, his tummy flutters and his heart starts racing. What if his project doesn’t work on the day? What if his teacher doesn’t like it?

Even children experience anxiousness. Made in collaboration with Woke Babies, this book aims to normalize this feeling of worry and provide children with a technique to combat it. With vivid illustrations accompanying the inspiring story, this picture book will entertain all ages and subtly teach them about science and mindfulness. Whether you are looking for a heart-warming story with inspiring characters, or a gift for a little one, Femi and the Mindfulness Machine will make the perfect addition to any child’s bookshelf.
