Bright Minds and Big Hearts-March 28th, 2026
We're so excited to host Lisa Fennelly Keenan at The Cranford Bookstore. Lisa, founder and owner of Thrive Within Therapy and Wellness.
Bright Minds & Big Hearts is a fun and engaging social-emotional wellness class designed for children ages 5–7. Through games, stories, creative activities, and group discussions, kids learn how to understand their feelings, build positive relationships, and develop kindness and confidence.
In this supportive and playful environment, children practice important life skills such as identifying emotions, calming their bodies, solving problems, showing empathy, and communicating with others. Each class encourages curiosity, teamwork, and self-expression while helping children build the tools they need to navigate big feelings and everyday challenges.
Our goal is to help every child grow into a thoughtful, resilient, and compassionate human—with a bright mind and a big heart.
