Rest, Reset, and Roar!

Leopard hides behind Elephant as they are nervous and learning to take a break. Elephant teaches moving their body.

When a powerful storm rolls across the African savannah, Leopard refuses to stop keeping watch. As the rain falls and emotions grow stronger, Elephant gently reminds Leopard that taking a break isn't giving up. It's a healthy way to calm your body, understand your feelings, and keep going.
