  • 543. A Mountain of Snow!: a meditation and calming story
    Sidney Snowplow creates a mountain of snow so the kids can go sledding.
    Narrator: Male

    Story Begins: 5:23
    A Mountain of Snow Excerpt:





    It was a windy and snowy morning on Ahway Island. Sidney Snowplow had just woken up in his cozy garage. He felt well rested and ready to start a busy day of snowplowing! Sidney revved his engine as he waited patiently for his driver to hop in and start their fun snow day together. As his engine warmed up, Sidney enjoyed taking a few minutes by himself to enjoy the quiet morning.

     

    Sidney loved to work in the snow, especially when it was freshly fallen. It was like playing in a pile of sugar all day long! Sidney loved how soft and fluffy snow could be, but he also loved how strong it could be when people built forts or figures out of snow.

     

    After a few minutes Sidney’s driver came out to the garage carrying a hot cup of coffee. The driver opened up the big garage door and took a seat in the driver’s seat. Now they were ready to head out into the snow!

  • 206. BCAI: Camouflaged Cardboard: a relaxing bedtime story
    Using their imagination the kids bring Chance the Cardboard Box back to the colorful planet. What will happen this time?
    Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Camouflaged Cardboard” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
    Narrator: Female

    Final Dragon Breath: 11:19

    Camouflaged Cardboard Show Excerpt:
    Sunlight rested on the cardboard box in the living room.  It was a bright sunny morning and the little kitty had already left the comfy box to find breakfast.  Chance was ready for another adventure and hoped the kids would play soon.  The cardboard box really wished that they would return to the colorful planet.  Chance could hear the clanking of silverware and dishes in the kitchen.  Breakfast was over, maybe now it would be time to play.

     

    The kids ran into the living room and the girl said. “I know it’s your turn to pick what we do, but do you want to visit the colorful planet again?”

     

    “I was going to say that if you didn’t.” her brother replied.  “We have so much more to explore there.”  And with that they both hopped into the cardboard box and readied their imaginations.  Chance felt excited, that was exactly what he had hoped for.

     

    “Buckle up!” The girl said. “Buckled and ready for take off!” her brother replied.

     

    The kids leaned back in the box as Chance prepared for lift off.  Suddenly the box took off and headed straight up.  The ceiling of the room disappeared and Chance was free, rocketing up through the fluffy clouds and into the sky.  The kids looked back and watched their house, their town, their world, fade from sight.  They were surrounded by twinkling stars.  Straight ahead was the planet. The colors swirled in soothing patterns as they approached.

  • 541. Stormy Music: a kids’ meditation and story
    Anora and Julia have a sleepover together at Anora's house. Together they learn that the rain is not so scary after all.
    Narrator: Female

    Story Begins: 4:15
    Stormy Music Excerpt:





    Anora jumped off the couch when she heard the doorbell ring. “I’ll get it!” she exclaimed out to her mom as she ran toward the front door. She practically jumped all the way there! When she reached the door, she twisted the doorknob and swung the door wide open, then opened her arms wide to greet her friend with a hug.

     

    “Julia!” exlaimed Anora. “You made it! Hurry and come in!”

     

    Julia hugged Anora back tight, overjoyed to see her friend again. The two girls hadn’t seen each other in a while as Anora had been away for several weeks.  They were so excited to see each other again. The girls had been friends for their whole lives and loved to spend time together, even though Julia was a little older than Anora. Anora didn’t have any siblings, so she felt Julia was like a big sister. And Julia always appreciated how kind Anora was to everyone.

  • 205. BCAI: Pumpkin Run: a relaxation and story for your nap time routine
    Trenton the tractor has a busy day. The kids are coming back with their parents to share the fun they had on their field trip.
    Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Pumpkin Run” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
    Narrator: Male

    Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 5:40

    Pumpkin Run Show Excerpt:
    Sunlight spilled across the fields, lighting up the golden straw Trenton hauled on his trailer. The tractor smiled.  People were coming for a visit today, and Trenton felt excited.  The little yellow tractor would take them on a tour of the whole farm.  Trenton rolled over to the newly mowed grass, that was now a parking lot, to wait for the people to arrive.  As he drove towards the lot the trailer bounced a bit.

     

    Every little bump caused the trailer to bounce, up and down and over to the side.  Trenton hoped that when the people sat on it it would be a little more calm, and intended the visitors to have a nice day.

     

    As the little yellow tractor waited he heard a popping sound in the distance. Trenton looked up and saw the first car drive down the gravel driveway.  The little stones popped up as the car’s tires picked them up and tossed them aside.  The car made its way into the parking lot and stopped.

     

    Parents opened the car door and two little boys hopped out.  Each one holding a parent’s hand.  Their faces lit up when they saw the tractor and one pointed at Trenton.  The family walked over to the tractor as more and more cars drove into the parking lot.  The gravel drive popped and popped.  Before long there was a line of people waiting to hop onto the trailer behind the Trenton.
    Today’s Meditation: Today, enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.

    Javier tries to give his mom a birthday surprise but things get a little bit messy.
    Narrator: Male

    Story Begins: 4:30
    Birthday Surprise Excerpt:





    It was a sunny autumn morning on Ahway Island and Javier was sitting at the kitchen table enjoying some cereal for breakfast.

     

    He was really excited. Today was his mom’s birthday! Javier’s mom had left very early in the morning to go work at the hospital. Javier loved his mom so much. She was always working hard to make sure that people were happy and healthy on Ahway Island. To celebrate her birthday, Javier wanted to do something special for his mom. As he finished his cereal, a brilliant idea popped into his head.

     

    “I know!” he thought. “I’ll blow up some balloons!” Javier always loved the colorful balloons his mom gave him on his birthday and other special occasions. And if it was hot enough outside, Javier and his mom would fill up water balloons!

  • 119. Hello!: a relaxing story and meditation for kids
    Tanner toad greets a new friend with the customary "Hello!" Since the other toad doesn't respond, Tanner tries a different approach.
    Narrator: Male

    Story Begins: 8:47
    Hello! Excerpt:





    Sunshine lit up the earth.  The sky shimmered a bright blue, without a single cloud to bring rain or shade. Tanner toad enjoyed the sun, taking a deep dragon breath, in and out ( in the toasty warm air.  He smiled and closed his eyes, basking until he felt cozy from his head to his toes.

     

    The little toad stretched and began his morning hop around.  Tanner hopped through the flowerbeds, checking on the red roses, orange and yellow snap dragons, green ivy, and purple petunias.  He stopped and took another deep dragon breath, in and out enjoying the wonderful scents in the air.  All the flowers smiled as they soaked in the sun.  Tanner smiled too, as he went hop, hop, hopping by.

     

    Soon, the little toad began to feel hot.  It was time for a break in the shade. Tanner knew where to go, his favorite spot under the ferns.  There was enough shade there to cool off, with a little bit of sunlight filtering through the airy leaves.

    Narrator: Female

    Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:18

    Birdie Blues Show Excerpt:
    There was a chill in the air as the dragon stepped outside the cozy cave.  The dragon smiled, admiring how the plants sparkled with morning frost. A cool breeze twirled around the happy dragon.  The dragon shivered and gave itself a big warm hug.

     

    Looking off into the trees the dragon thought about how the animals had begun to slow down, and seemed a little sleepy.  The dragon noticed the birds nestled in their trees, fluffed into little balls to keep themselves warm.   It was time for some of the birds to travel to warmer places, and the dragon was ready to help the ones who stayed.

     

    The caring dragon was ready with a hug or to make a little fire for the birds and animals to warm themselves.  It’s good to know a friendly fire breathing dragon when the weather gets chilly.

     

    Carrie the Cardinal watched the dragon disappear back into its cozy cave and then sang a sweet melody. She listened eagerly for her friend Gerry the robin to add the next verse.  The little cardinal sat quietly waiting for music to drift back to her through the crisp air.

     

    After a couple of minutes, Carrie decided to go check on her friend. She flew over to Gerry’s nest and noticed that the robin was very busy.

    Teagan Tugboat learns to appreciate her home with the help of her friend, Izzy Icebreaker.
    Narrator: Male

    Story Begins: 4:34
    Harbor Happiness Excerpt:





    It was early morning and the sun was just rising over the waters of Ahway Island Bay, making the water look as shiny as diamonds. Teagan Tugboat sat at her dock, patiently floating in the water. She was eager to get the day started.

     

    Today, Teagan was going to see her good friend, Izzy Icebreaker! Today was a day off for both of them. They didn’t need to do any of their usual work, so they could just spend the day together and play! They were going to do all kinds of fun things: race in the river, talk about the beautiful places they’ve been, and even visit some of their other friends, like Manny Motorboat.

     

    Then Izzy was going to stay overnight in the empty dock next to Teagan’s dock. Teagan had been waiting for this day for a long time, so she had planned everything out. All she had to do was wait for Izzy and the day could begin!

    On the Road Show Excerpt:
    The rested dragon stretched as sunlight flickered on the floor of the cozy cave.  It was morning and the dragon was ready for another wonderful day.  Taking a deep dragon breath in and out , the dragon thought about its intentions for the day.

     

    So far, meeting the vehicles had been going well. The trucks had been considerate to the forest and seemed pretty fun.  The construction vehicles had been very kind and interesting, and the dragon was invited to visit them again.

     

    Today, however, the dragon was feeling brave and decided to walk over to the road.  The adventurous dragon smiled, stepped out of the cave, and began making its way to the road.

     

    At the edge of the enchanted forest the dragon peeked out from behind a sturdy tree.  On the ground just a little ways away was the road.  The ribbon of gray snaked along the ground just outside the forest.  The dragon watched as a red car, a white car and a black car came whizzing by.  Where were they going, the dragon wondered, and decided to follow the road as long as there was forest next to it.

    Simon Cicada plans a tree party for his old friends and ends up inviting a new friend as well.
    Narrator: Male

    Story Begins: 4:46
    Tree Party Excerpt:





    It was an early summer morning and Simon Cicada woke up with a great idea! He stretched his little legs and wings as the sun gently shone on him. Simon had realized that it had been far too long since he had spent time with his friends Dharma Dragonfly and Letitia Ladybug. The three friends all lived in the forest on Ahway Island and spent their days flying around the big, beautiful forest. Recently, the trio hadn’t had the chance to spend time together, so Simon decided to do something special for them.

     

    “I know just what to do!” Simon said to himself. “I’ll throw a tree party!”

     

    Simon started to get everything ready. He timed his party to ensure that the sun was shining right on his tree where the party would take place. He made sure there were plenty of leaves around to snack on and he even gently cleaned off the flowers. Finally, Simon was happy with the state of his home so he flew off to find his friends.
