Sunny’s Missing Lunch Box is a heartwarming social-emotional learning story designed for children ages 3–7.
When Sunny realizes his lunch box is missing, he experiences big feelings like worry, frustration, and sadness. With guidance, patience, and a little problem-solving, Sunny learns how to pause, name his feelings, and choose healthy ways to cope while working toward a solution.
Through gentle storytelling, relatable situations, and age-appropriate coping strategies, this book helps young children understand that big emotions are normal and manageable. The story encourages skills like asking for help, taking deep breaths, staying calm when things don’t go as planned, and trying again.
Includes a song (from the live show) to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"
