Calm Hippo must endure many anxiety-causing situations. However, he has mastered the skills necessary to cope. As such, if he is late on the morning of an important competition, or if he missed the bus and has to walk to school, he can use his coping mechanisms to help him stay calm and see each situation in a new and positive light.
The story's plot and characters are well developed. The story's narrative arc is easy to follow and builds suspense as we wait to see what happens to Calm Hippo in the upcoming competition. Further, the antagonistic characters are met with such empathy that young readers will see the benefit of being compassionate.
The illustrations in this book will be very interesting for young readers. The color scheme and easy-to-draw figures make each illustration relatable and endearing. My favorite illustration is found on page 20, with Calm Hippo's final painting.
I would encourage young readers to pick up a copy of Calm Hippo: A Children's Book About Staying Calm in Difficult, Unexpected Situations at your local bookstore or online. The illustrations are beautiful and endearing, and the plot and characters are well developed.
