Nico's Five Slow Breaths

By Julia Q.

Nico has played hard all day, but bedtime finds his body still full of bouncy energy. He tosses, turns, and kicks his blankets until Lumi's gentle golden glow reminds him of a quiet breathing game.
With Pip and Lumi nearby, Nico takes five slow breaths. He imagines floating dandelion seeds, cooling warm cocoa, watching a soft wave, becoming a strong tree, and sinking into a cozy cloud. With every breath, another busy feeling drifts away. His toes soften, his legs grow heavy, his fingers uncurl, and the whole bedroom becomes peaceful and still.
With sixteen richly illustrated story spreads, a soothing repeated refrain, and a simple sensory breathing practice, Nico's Five Slow Breaths offers a calming bedtime story for children learning how to settle an active body and quiet a busy mind. It is the ninth story in The Moonlit Story Tree, a bedtime picture book series for children ages three to seven and the grown-ups who read with them.
