This story illustrates a way of calming down when feeling overwhelmed and is a helpful first introduction to meditation for children. Little Owl feels sad and mad and bad – all at once. He decides to fly away, but soon finds himself tired and lost. Then someone shows him how to feel better! This story also has an accompanying children's meditation titled "Children's Meditation: Sitting Still in the Sunshine".
