ATLANTA - eTradeWire -- Children across the country are heading into new classrooms, meeting new friends, and trying new things - and with those moments often come butterflies in the tummy. In her beautifully crafted debut children's book, A Magical Day with Gracie, Licensed Professional Counselor Jenise Greene delivers a gentle, encouraging story that helps young readers understand that feeling nervous is completely normal - and that even the bravest hearts get butterflies sometimes.

The book follows Gracie on her first day at Butterfly Elementary. Overwhelmed by new faces and unfamiliar experiences, Gracie begins to worry until she meets Luna, a sparkly, caring butterfly who shows her simple coping techniques to calm her mind, breathe through her fears, and step into bravery one moment at a time.

"Children feel anxiety more deeply than adults often realize," says Jenise Greene, a National Board-Certified Counselor, Certified Anger Management Specialist, and Play Therapist. "I wanted to give kids - and their parents - language and tools to navigate those big feelings with compassion. Gracie's story is fun and magical, but it also shows real strategies I use in the therapy room every day."

"A Magical Day with Gracie" blends emotional wellness with whimsy, making it ideal for:

• Parents supporting children experiencing anxiety or transitions
• Educators and counselors teaching emotional regulation
• Libraries and children's programs focused on social-emotional learning
• Readers of all ages who need a gentle reminder that courage grows one small step at a time

The book's watercolor illustrations bring the story to life with warmth and inclusivity, reflecting a diverse classroom and relatable childhood experiences.

A Magical Day with Gracie is published by Because There's More Publishing, a metro-Atlanta boutique publishing house committed to amplifying meaningful stories for children and adults alike.
