Gilly and the Garden - Donna Housman - Bog

In Gilly and the Garden, an ECSELent Adventures story, Hemmy and Shemmy are so good at caring for their garden, it's time for them to care for another living thing, too! Yet even when they take the very best care of something they love, the unexpected happens. Learn, grow, and develop alongside Hemmy and Shemmy as they experience the ups and downs of responsibility, the peace that can come from navigating a range of emotions, and the way joyful memories can help lessen the pain of death and loss. Otter siblings Hemmy and Shemmy, ambassadors of Housman institute's emotional, cognitive, and social early learning ECSELent Adventures program, invite children to join them as they explore, discover, and begin to understand and manage the big world of their own emotions and those of others, and in the process learn to become the boss of their feelings-both big and small.
