Jackson and the Grasshopper Who Couldn't Sit Still: An Aussie Bedtime Story About Busy Bodies & Classroom Calm

Jackson is six, and sitting still in the classroom can feel almost impossible. His feet tap, his fingers fidget, and his busy body always seems to need to move.

When Jackson meets a bouncy little grasshopper, he begins to realise that needing movement doesn’t mean he isn’t listening or trying his best.

With the understanding of his teacher, Jackson discovers that quietly squeezing a squishy during class gives his hands something to do and helps his body feel calmer, making it easier to listen and learn.
