The world knows the heroic stories of caregivers - the tireless hands that lift, the gentle hearts that soothe, the endless cups of coffee brewing hope. But rarely do we hear the whispers of their fatigue, the flicker of doubt in their eyes as they pour from an empty cup. This book, my friend, is not just another self-help manual. It's a confession, a whispered secret shared amidst the clatter of dishes and the symphony of beeps and alarms. You see, I, too, walked the tightrope of caregiving. I saw the vibrant tapestry of life fade to shades of exhaustion, the laughter muted by the constant hum of responsibility. My days dissolved into a kaleidoscope of medication schedules, doctor appointments, and whispered reassurances. Time became a thief, stealing away moments for breath, for joy, for me. And then, like a dandelion seed carried on the wind, an idea bloomed. It was small, barely a whisper at first - what if self-care could fit in a stolen pocket of time, five minutes snatched from the jaws of the day? Could those moments, strung together like pearls, become a lifeline to myself, a reminder that I mattered too? This book is the fruit of that seed. It's a love letter to all the weary caregivers, a whispered promise that you are not alone. It's a map through the jungle of "shoulds" and "have-tos," leading to hidden oases of five-minute sanctuaries. It's a toolbox filled with quick fixes for frazzled minds and tired bodies, a reminder that self-care doesn't need a whole day, just a stolen breath. In these pages, you won't find lofty pronouncements or guilt-inducing platitudes. You'll find the messy truth of caregiver life, the whispered anxieties, the stolen naps, and the quiet victories of five-minute breaths. You'll find a hand reaching out, not to demand a hero, but to offer a fellow traveler a shared moment of respite, a whisper of hope that says, "It's okay to take five minutes for you." Because in the end, when the dishes are piled high and the beeps echo in the silence, it's not just the one you care for who needs healing. It's you, too. And this book is my offering, a whispered map to that healing, five minutes at a time. So open it, my friend, and let it be your companion in the quiet moments, your permission slip to breathe, to move, to create, to simply be. Let it be your reminder that self-care isn't selfish, it's sacred. It's the oxygen that fuels your love, the light that keeps you shining in the face of the storm. After all, even the mightiest ocean starts with a single drop. And you, my weary friend, are a whole ocean waiting to be replenished. Take five minutes. You deserve it.

Every parent, caregiver—and toddler—knows the misery that comes with meltdowns and temper tantrums. Through rhythmic text and warm illustrations, this gentle, reassuring book offers toddlers simple tools to release strong feelings, express them, and calm themselves down. Children learn to use their calm-down place—a quiet space where they can cry, ask for a hug, sing to themselves, be rocked in a grown-up’s arms, talk about feelings, and breathe: “One, two, three . . . I’m calm as can be. I’m taking care of me.” After a break, toddlers will feel like new—and adults will, too. Books include tips for parents and caregivers.
