Daniel Takes a Breath

A new generation of children love Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, inspired by the classic series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood!

Daniel Tiger learns to pause, collect himself, and take a deeeeeep breath in this all-new social-emotional story!

Nothing is going right for Daniel Tiger today! His shoelaces get knotted when he tries to tie them, Trolley is late, and he forgot his lunch box at home! When Daniel feels himself getting upset, Mom and Teacher Harriet remind him that a deep breath can provide just the reset he needs. This sweet original story shows kids that big feelings aren’t bad things—but learning to stay calm is important. Daniel and his friends demonstrate easy calming processes for kids to practice!
