Curtis the red rock crab has to stay at home with his family to avoid the dangerous squids who are swimming through his bay. He isn't able to go to school, play with friends, or participate in after school activities. Curtis learns through this experience that he is able to use his calming strategies, the support of his loving family and his favorite activities to make it through. The book provides a section at the end for development of strategies and practice for the whole family to share together. A great book for home and school environments
