Reg Catches a Salmon: A Growth Mindset Story for Kids

By Lori Gard and illustrated by Emma Martin

PEI’s Pownal Street Press will release Reg Catches a Salmon: A Growth Mindset Story for Kids (Tales for Big Feelings #3) on April 8. Written by Lori Gard and illustrated by Emma Martin.

Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG. Reg wakes up one fine summer morning with his head full of possibilities: swimming, berry picking, fishing for minnows. Then his big sister Co-co tells him that today she’s going to teach him to catch a salmon. Reg’s heart beats louder, his muscles clench up, everything aches. He doesn’t know how to catch a salmon. What if he just CAN’T? Co-co reminds him to breathe and relax his body.

Reg Catches a Salmon, the latest in the Tales for Big Feelings series, guides readers through the challenge of learning new, hard things and the joy of trying and trying again.

Gard is the author of two other children’s books, Reg Goes Swimming and Reg Takes a Trip. She lives in Mill River East, PEI.

Martin is a fine artist and the illustrator of the Tales for Big Feelings series. She lives in Michigan, USA.
