Description

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.
