Deep in Whispering Woods lives Max the Moose, whose brain runs on rocket fuel - full of big ideas, bigger feelings, and a body that moves before his mind can catch up. In these six stories, Max chases cloudberries into a bog, triggers a blueberry avalanche, gets his leg trapped in a storm, tangles a treehouse project into chaos, blurts a secret he shouldn’t, and loses his footing in a rushing river. Each adventure lands him in real trouble - and each time, his steady friend Syl the Sasquatch is there, not to rescue him from the consequences, but to walk beside him through them.Nearly eight feet tall and impossible to rattle, Syl teaches Max the tools of the ancient Stoics: that we can’t always control what happens, but we can always choose how we respond. Alongside Oscar the careful otter, Briar the gruff but soft-hearted bear, and Riley the sharp-eyed raven, Max learns one calming tool per story - the Three-Breath Brake, Square Woods Breath, Riley’s Rhythm, the Rule of Three, the Wisdom Window, and the Five-Finger Anchor - each one a concrete, kid-sized skill for impulse control, big emotions, and a racing mind.Written for children with ADHD (and the grown-ups who love them), Steady Roots & Rambling Trails pairs warm, funny, forest-set adventures with strategies grounded in real evidence-based practice: box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, task-chunking, and cognitive tools adapted from CBT and ACT. A closing note for parents and caregivers explains the thinking behind each tool, so the lessons can carry on long after the story ends.Max never stops being Max - quick, curious, and full of spark. But story by story, he discovers he isn’t broken; his mind just needs a few good tools to find its steady roots even while it rambles down new trails.
