K-Gr 2—The narrator's soothing voice begins with an introduction to breath and breathing. Accompanied with positive, upbeat music and sound effects such as waves crashing and birds chirping, the animation is brought to life with the exceptional use of light. Viewers are instructed in breathing exercises calmly and clearly. Potentially scary experiences, such as trying something new or getting mad or sad, are described and depicted, accompanied by breathing exercises that will help children grow calm and feel better during these new experiences. The instrumental score is adjusted accordingly and becomes gentle when focusing on breathing exercises. An excellent resource for parents, teachers, and all growing children, and a positive way to learn about new experiences.
