It’s time for a story replay! This one’s all about starting something new - like a brand new school year - and all the feelings that can come with it. We felt it was important to repeat this episode because stories were one of the best ways our family managed back to school jitters. We hope it does the same for your young listeners. 

DESCRIPTION: A new school year has begun, and Big Bad Wolf is experiencing back-to-school jitters. He’s worried his wolf classmates will continue to make fun of him over his embarrassing incident during last year’s howl-at-the-moon final exam. Enter his Folktale Forest friends, including Serena the Capybara. They talk him through his new class nerves and guide him back to his calm, cool and collected canine self—sending him off with the confidence he needs to become a Master Howler!

Chanel Tsang, creator of the Peace Out Podcast, is the calming voice of Serena, the caring capybara in Big Bad Goes Back to School. She's written "Calm Down Workbook for Kids" to help them learn how to manage their emotions (like back to school jitters), fall asleep easier, and let go of stress by regulating their breathing and practicing mindfulness.
