Help your children expand their emotional intelligence with this book about meditation and mindfulness for kids—one deep breath at a time!

Izzy has a problem. Something is casting a shadow over her day.

A bubble. One little grumpy thought bubble that just won't go away. It follows Izzy everywhere, until...another pops up. And another. Can Izzy figure out what to do about the bubbles—before they completely take over everything?

Through vibrant illustrations and light interactivity, Too Many Bubbles encourages kids to take a mindful deep breath when they have too many thoughts overshadowing their day. It can help with anxiety relief for kids and is a great choice for social emotional learning.

        A gentle representation of a mindfulness exercise. On a tough day, one thought--a cranky sort of one--appears over Izzy the mouse's head. It's represented as a scribble, suspended in a bubble. As the days go by, more scribbly thoughts appear. "They cast a shadow on Izzy's day. A super shadowy shadow." They bubble up, all colors and sizes, crowding and bumping. So many appear that they push Izzy right off the page! With eyebrows furrowed, Izzy, normally a pale blue, is in a deep, red rage. She decides to go to her "secret spot," which for her is the beach. The beach is wide open; the bubbles lift a little and are not as pressing. Then, Izzy takes a deep breath. Readers are invited to help Izzy by blowing on the bubbles. The scribbly thoughts drift away. The bright illustrations are uncluttered, allowing space for the bubbles to push in and then lift. Readers will feel the squeeze and release. A final, wordless scene depicts Izzy from behind as she gazes out at an orange sunset over the water. Other coping techniques and exercises are appended. This is the first in the Books of Great Character series, which features guests from the Silly Street suite of character-building games and promotes social-emotional growth. Who knew bubbles could be so light and heavy at the same time? (Picture book. 3-6)
