The Hurry - A Little Signals Story About Going Too Fast

Some children arrive everywhere slightly before they mean to. Words come out too quickly, feet go before the plan does, and the day turns into a chase.

The Hurry is a story about that feeling from the inside. It follows what happens when a body speeds up and cannot find the brake, and it does not treat this as naughtiness or something to be trained out. It treats it as a signal, which is what it is.

Gently, without instruction or moralising, the story shows a way of noticing the hurry and letting it settle — so a child has something to recognise the next time it happens.

For the adults who spend a lot of their day saying wait.

Part of Little Signals — gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big. For children aged 4–8.
