(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. On the day of his school’s lockdown drill, Henry’s stomach “is twisted in the middle like a bunch of tissue paper butterflies.” During the drill, Henry finds it hard to breathe; he continues to feel anxious after the drill is over until his understanding teacher shows him some coping strategies. The empathetic text and calming mixed-media illustrations will reassure readers with similar fears. Website recommendations for lockdown-drill best practices and for mindfulness practice with children are included.
