Breathe Like a Tree: A Bedtime Breathing Story
When thoughts are spinning and sleep just won't come, Puff arrives with an invitation: "Come. I want to show you something." Outside, at the edge of the garden, a great old tree stands in the moonlight. It has been there a very long time. It is very, very still.
Breathe in slowly - one, two, three, four. Feel your arms reach up like branches toward the sky. Breathe out slowly - one, two, three, four. Feel your roots going down, deep into the warm, safe earth. With every breath, the mind grows quieter. The roots grow deeper. Until at last - you are still. Completely still. Like the great old tree has always been.
Breathe Like a Tree introduces tree breathing - a grounding technique recommended for children with busy, anxious, or overstimulated minds. Unlike other bedtime breathing books, this story begins with the child's racing thoughts and uses the image of a living tree - roots going down, branches reaching up - to help little ones feel anchored and calm. Equal 4-count inhale and exhale builds a sense of balance and stillness.
Perfect for:
Children who can't stop thinking at bedtimeLittle ones who feel anxious, restless, or overstimulated before sleepFans of the Breathe & Dream series - a completely new world and techniqueNature-loving families and classrooms
A Note for Grown-Ups includes the tree breathing guide - with a tip for using the standing arms-up version for very energetic children before lying down.
Book 4 of the Breathe & Dream series - one technique per book, one magical world, one glowing cloud guide. Ages 3-5.
