Releasing Fall 2025
Sometimes, when things get intense, Polly fights, runs away, or freezes. But Polly’s not alone—she has friends and coping skills to help her along the way! Whether it's facing a frosty freezer or a red-hot toaster, Polly shows kids that they can do hard things and feel bakery-fresh again in no time.
Joanna wrote this heartwarming story to help children, parents, and professionals better understand and communicate about the brain/body connection. Inspired by the Polyvagal theory, The Tale of Polly Bagel helps readers access common language and discover simple, powerful tools to identify and manage stressors.
