Power animal

A power animal is like having a special friend who is an animal that helps you feel better and stronger.

Imagine you have a best friend who is always there for you, listens to you, and makes you feel better when you are sad or scared. Well, some people believe that animals can be special friends like this too.

A power animal is a special animal that someone chooses to help them feel better, stronger, and more confident. It can be any animal like a bear, eagle, wolf, dolphin or even a ladybug!

Some people believe that power animals can also give you special powers, like courage, patience, or being more loving.

So, in a way, a power animal is like a superhero's sidekick or a best friend who helps you feel your best!
