Something big has shaken Hamster Island! A dragon, a storm, and a sea monster have destroyed the bridges and blocked the paths to the wise ones. Now, the tower guard sees danger everywhere, and the villagers are stuck—some overworking, others overwhelmed with emotions. But hope arrives. With gentle steps—left, right, left, right—a brave helper shows the villagers how to reconnect, rebuild, and feel better.

Using a clever island full of hamsters, this beautifully illustrated story helps children understand how their brain works, what happens during stress or trauma, and how EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) can help them heal. Perfect for therapy rooms, classrooms, and bedtime snuggles, “The Bridges of Hamster Island” is a compassionate and creative tool for emotional wellness and resilience.

Includes: “Let’s Talk Discussion Questions,” “A Note about EMDR,” and “Butterfly Hugs / Eagle Wings Calming Resource.”
