Luna Bear and When to Pounce

Big feelings. Fast paws. One important lesson about when to pounce.

Luna Bear is bursting with excitement for a trip to the park. She wants to climb the tallest tower, race the fastest races, and show everyone just how big and strong she's become.

But excitement can make even the kindest little cub forget her manners.

When Luna's rough play leaves her new forest friends upset, a wise old forest guardian named Leshy appears to help her understand an important truth:

Being strong is wonderful.
Being joyful is wonderful.
But knowing when and how to use that energy matters, too.

Through playful lessons, gentle guidance, and a second chance at friendship, Luna learns about self-control, kindness, personal space, apologies, and the difference between rough play and respectful play.

Perfect for children ages 3-8, Luna Bear and When to Pounce is a warm woodland story for families navigating:

• impulse control
• emotional regulation
• social skills
• personal boundaries
• rough play and gentle play
• friendship and apologies

Set in the enchanting world of Baba Yaga's Wisdom Series, this beautifully illustrated story blends folktale warmth, forest magic, and meaningful life lessons little ones can understand.

Because every little cub deserves to learn that there is a time to tumble... and a time to tread gently.
