Your choice: The Resilience Voyage · Little Explorers (ages 3-4) · printable PDF + online adventure
This edition is still being written, illustrated and tested. We only sell an edition once all 30 missions are finished in both formats.
Also part of Choose Any 3 ($74.99) and the Complete Collection ($184.99), each for one age level.
The goal: Find the five scattered lighthouse stones so the Rainbow Lighthouse can warn the coast about storms again.
Your child’s part: Your child rebuilds what the storm knocked down, tries another way when a plan does not work and decides when to ask for help. Each stone they recover lights the lighthouse a little more, so the boats know when it is safe to sail.
Resilience is how we respond when things go wrong. Children practise naming frustration, trying another way and seeing mistakes as part of learning.
Just gentle ideas to help you choose.
The story goal: Find the five scattered lighthouse stones so the Rainbow Lighthouse can warn the coast about storms again.

Tilly says: “Ouch. That was a big bonk. I feel cross. And a bit sad.”Tilly
Here is Tilly. Slow, slow, slow. She steps onto a wobbly rock.
Wibble, wobble... BONK! Down she goes.
POP! Tilly hides inside her shell. Knock, knock. Tilly, are you in there?
First, a choice: 2 options
On the printed page: Point to the hug or the blanket, then colour Tilly's face.
By the end they have: Feelings card: Tilly's face coloured in.
You will need: A blanket or towel (optional) · A teddy to be Tilly (optional)
Smaller step if needed: Just point to the hug or the blanket, and the grown-up does the curling up.
The grown-up’s part: Voice Tilly slowly and gently. Say the feeling word yourself first; your child copies when ready.
Next time a toy falls or a sock won't go on, say Tilly's words together: Ouch, I feel cross.
What it practises: Practise noticing and naming a feeling after a tumble, then choosing what helps.
