Emily and the Invisible Goat – Storybook

Description

What if your biggest distraction followed you everywhere—even when no one else could see it?

Emily and the Invisible Goat is an engaging children’s story that helps young readers explore focus, attention, self-control, and making thoughtful choices.

Emily is trying to make it through her school day, but there’s one little problem: an invisible goat that always seems to appear at exactly the wrong time! Whether Emily is supposed to be listening to her teacher, completing a task, or navigating lunchtime, the goat has a way of pulling her attention somewhere else.

Through Emily’s experiences, children are encouraged to recognize the distractions that can get in the way of making good choices—and discover that they have the power to refocus and take control.

Written by young author Genesis Simmons with Dr. K. S. Simmons, Emily and the Invisible Goat creates a fun and relatable way for families and educators to begin conversations about attention, decision-making, classroom behavior, and self-regulation.

Perfect for home, classrooms, libraries, counseling settings, and social-emotional learning activities, this story reminds young readers that distractions may show up—but they don’t have to be in charge.
