Hi there! I’m Ani, and I’m so happy you’re here to read with me. Today, we’re going to have a fun time with a story called “The Bubble Book.” Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Do you know what belly breaths are? They’re a special way to breathe that helps us feel calm and happy. Let’s learn about them as we read “The Bubble Book” by Elizabeth Ember.
Look at this tiny bubble! Should we make it bigger? Yes, let’s do it! We can use our belly breaths to help. Put your hands on your belly, breathe in big, and blow out into the bubble. Wow, it’s getting bigger!
Do you want to make the bubble even bigger? Let’s blow more belly breaths! Amazing! Look, there are more bubbles now. Can you see something inside them? Let’s pop them with our fingers. Pop! More bubbles appear!
Uh-oh, the purple bubble needs more help. Let’s blow on it with our belly breaths. Fantastic! Now, let’s pop all the bubbles. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
Belly breaths help us feel good and calm. How do you feel now? I feel relaxed and happy. Belly breaths are a great way to feel better!
Let’s say hello to our friends around the world!

Bubble Breathing Adventure: Let’s go on a bubble breathing adventure! Find a small bottle of bubble solution and a bubble wand. Go outside with an adult and try using your belly breaths to blow bubbles. Notice how the bubbles get bigger with each breath. Can you make a really big bubble? How does it feel to use your belly breaths to blow bubbles?
Belly Breaths and Colors: Let’s use our imagination! Close your eyes and take a deep belly breath. As you breathe in, imagine your favorite color filling up your belly. When you breathe out, imagine blowing that color out into the air like a bubble. What color did you choose? How did it feel to imagine your breath as a colorful bubble?
Calm Down Corner: Create a special calm down corner at home. Find a cozy spot with a soft pillow or blanket. Practice taking belly breaths in your calm down corner whenever you feel upset or need a break. How does taking belly breaths in your special spot make you feel? Can you teach someone else how to use belly breaths to feel calm?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

“The Bubble Book,” written and illustrated by Elizabeth Ember.
You see the bubble? This bubble is so tiny. Should we make it bigger? Yes! Okay, tell the bubble to grow bigger. Did it work? Hmm, maybe this is a calming bubble. Let’s try using belly breaths. This is a special tool people use to get calm.
Okay, put your hands on your belly and breathe in big, and blow it all out of the bubble. Wow, it worked! You made the bubble bigger. What do you think? Should we make it even bigger? Okay, blow! Amazing! More! More! Even more, you say? Then more belly breaths!
Oh my, look at that! Do you see something in that bubble? What could it be? Let us see—pop the bubble with your finger. Pop! Goodness! The bubble popped and more bubbles! Should we grow those bubbles too? Okay, use those really big belly breaths. Blow them bigger! Even bigger!
Uh-oh, the purple one needs some more help. Blow on the purple one. Fantastic! Bravo! More! Whoa! Now give them all a pop! Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
Taking belly breaths helps us feel good. How do you feel? Do you feel calmer? I know those belly breaths help me feel more relaxed.
