January 15, 2021 164. Gentle Giraffes: a bedtime story and guided meditation for kids
Giselle the little giraffe feels nervous its her first day with a babysitter. How will Ginny help her feel better?
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 “Gentle Giraffes" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:29
Sharing a Snack Excerpt:
The sun warmed the land easily without a cloud in the sky to block its rays. The baby giraffes relaxed with their mamas in the warm light. Giselle Giraffe looked up at her beautiful mama and beamed. The little giraffe loved being with her mama, and she stuck right next to her, always. Her mama looked down at Giselle, smiled, and gave her a gentle nudge. “Giselle, I’m going with some of the other mamas to get some food. It will be safer for you to stay here with the other little giraffes and the rest of the mamas.” Giselle looked at her mama, feeling her eyes fill with tears. She had never been away from her mama before and the thought scared her. “Do you have to go?” She asked.

Her mama smiled and said, “All the mama giraffes take turns going off for some food. Now, it’s my turn. I’ll be back before you know it.” Mama looked carefully at Giselle and saw that her little giraffe was feeling worried, so she decided to introduce her to one of the other giraffes. “Giselle meet Ginny. She will look after you while I’m gone.” Giselle looked up at the kind giraffe smiling down at her. Ginny seemed nice, she just wasn’t Giselle’s mama. The little giraffe nuzzled her mama, and her mama gently groomed Giselle’s head. “If you get nervous remember to take your deep dragon breaths. I’ll be back soon.” And with that Giselle’s mama left. The little giraffe felt sad as she watched her mama leave, so she took a deep dragon breath in and out. She could still see her mama, and her mama was smiling. Giselle took another deep dragon breath in and out, and realized if her mom felt happy everything was OK.

January 11, 2021 460. Magical Music: a calming bedtime story and meditation
Dragon goes for an early evening walk through the enchanted forest and finds a new little trail. The trail takes Dragon into a magical grove of ancient trees.

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 9:39
Magical Music Excerpt:
Sunlight spilled through the thick leaves of the trees in the enchanted forest, creating a colorful lacy pattern on the ground. Dragon gazed up at the sky to see it changing from a bright blue to filling with red, orange, pink, and purple. Dragon did like a sunset walk. Everything seemed a little more magical in the woods. Dragon smiled, enjoying both the warmth of the sun and the cool shade of the trees. As Dragon continued down the path, the gentle melody of a bird’s song circled Dragon. Dragon looked up to see Gerry bird, a friendly robin resting on a tree branch above. Gerry fluffed up her feathers and coasted down to see Dragon.

“Isn’t it a beautiful evening!” she sang.

Dragon nodded. Together they continued along the path. Gerry bird sang and circled Dragon, while Dragon walked along, taking in all the sights, smells, and sounds of the forest. Then Dragon stopped. A faint trail lead away from the path.

Wondering what could be down this new trail, Dragon stepped off the path. Gerry felt a bit curious too and followed Dragon. Since this was all new to Dragon, Dragon walked very carefully, gently moving tree branches aside. This part of the forest seemed very peaceful. Dragon heard a faint melody in the distance and realized the little trail would bring them right to it.

Dragon and Oliver the elephant feel a little hungry. What can they have for a snack?
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 “Sharing a Snack" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:31
Sharing a Snack Excerpt:
The curious dragon peered out from the cozy cave and eagerly watched the sun set. The dragon could hardly wait to return to the animal sanctuary and explore some more.The hmmm from the sparkling train faded into the distance, and the dragon knew it was time to go. The dragon stepped outside the cave, stretched its wings wide, then lifted up off the ground. Hovering above the forest, the dragon looked for the train’s tracks and then followed them once more. The dragon smiled, and passing the beach, waved to Benji the bucket and Paula the blue penguin. Warm air surrounded the dragon above the beach land, and then slowly the air began to cool. The dragon smiled, and waved to Beau the beluga whale and Princely the penguin as the land turned white, covered in snow. The dragon followed along the tracks until the white snow melted away, and the land changed to green and brown.The dragon looked for the peaceful pool of water, and landed in the sanctuary.

Oliver the elephant rested with his herd. He heard a noise and looked up. The dragon had come back! The little elephant smiled, happy to see the dragon again. The little elephant hopped up and ran over to the dragon. The dragon felt a little worried at the sight of the elephant bounding forward at full speed. Oliver screeched to a stop and wrapped the dragon in a big hug with his trunk. The squished dragon smiled and began to wiggle out of the little elephant’s grasp. Oliver noticed that his great big hug had made the dragon feel uncomfortable, and apologized. “Sorry dragon, I was just so excited to see you again. I guess I over did it.”

January 04, 2021 458. Fresh from the Garden: a relaxation and story for your nap time routine
Rob the Raccoon realizes that Nutsy and Peanut the Squirrels haven't had any of the vegetables. Since the squirrels shared a lot of the seeds for the garden, the raccoons search for them to share the delicious vegetables.

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:05
Fresh from the Garden Excerpt:
As he relaxed, it occurred to Rob that Nutsy and Peanut, the squirrels, were nowhere to be found. The little raccoon knew that they would enjoy the vegetables too.

He spoke up, “Has anyone seen Nutsy and Peanut?”

Rebel and Riley stopped for a moment to think. Then Rebel said, “No, I don’t think I’ve seen them today.”

Rob said, “We should let them know about the vegetables. They brought a lot of the seeds for the garden. They should have some of the vegetables, too.”

Riley nodded and said, “Let’s go look for them.” And with that the three raccoons headed into the forest to find their friends. They headed first to the old oak tree, where the squirrels liked to nap.

Rebel called up, “Nutsy? Peanut?”

With no response, Rob hurried up the tree as fast as his three legs would carry him. He knocked on the trunk next to their nest, but no answer.

I don’t think they’re here.” He called down to his friends.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

January 01, 2021 161. First Ride: a kid’s mindful story and guided relaxation
Trudy the tricycle and Bing the bike help their wobbly passengers on their first rides. How will they do?
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 “First Ride" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:25
First Ride Excerpt:
The blue bicycle slept peacefully next to the little red tricycle in the cozy garage. Sunshine slipped through the cracks of the large door, and Bing the bicycle knew it was morning. As the door rumbled and slowly rolled up,Trudy the tricycle awoke. Both Bing and Trudy relaxed in the warmth of the sunlight filling the garage. Bing, who was a little taller than Trudy, looked up across the car’s hood and saw the little girl and boy walk into the garage with their mom and dad. Bing smiled and said to the tricycle, “I think we’re going out for a ride today!”

“Really!” Trudy said, “How do you know?”

The bicycle replied. “I can see that the little boy and girl are wearing helmets,and I’m pretty sure they only wear those when they are going for a ride.”

Sure enough, the little boy and girl walked over to the tricycle and bicycle and gently rolled them out of the garage. With mom beside her, the little girl hopped up onto the bicycle. Bing was proud. She had been practicing her balancing for a while now, and the little girl only wobbled a tiny bit on the still bike. The little girl had also been practicing how to stop her bike when it rolled too quickly, and she was really good at that too. Now, she was ready to ride. The bicycle looked over and saw that the little boy had hopped onto the tricycle, pedaled furiously, turned too quickly and tumbled into the grass. Trudy was tilted over, her handlebars lying in the grass. The little boy picked himself up, still smiling,and gently set the little tricycle back up onto her wheels. She looked a little surprised. Once Bing realized that Trudy and the boy were ok, he laughed. After all, it was a bit funny.

December 28, 2020 456. The Biggest Carrot: a mindful bedtime story
Dragon decides to check on the garden and finds Max, Mia, Ian, and Mike, picking vegetables. They realize it's time to share with the forest animals.

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:51
The Biggest Carrot Excerpt:
A warm breeze whistled through the trees outside Dragon’s cave. Hearing the relaxing melody, Dragon smiled and stepped out. The sun warmed Dragon’s skin, and just as Dragon began to feel a little too hot, the gentle breeze cooled Dragon back down. Dragon sat down and relaxed. It was a beautiful day. Dragon took a deep breath, in and out, enjoying the weather. Then Dragon remembered the garden and wondered how it was growing. Dragon decided to go for a visit and hopped up to go to the park.

Dragon wondered if any of the kids would be there. Hoping to see some friends, Dragon walked quickly. After all, it was already the afternoon and if the kids were at the park, they would have to go home pretty soon. Laughter flowed into the forest, carried on the breeze and Dragon smiled. The kids were at the garden. Dragon hurried to the garden listening carefully to guess who was there.

First, Dragon heard a cheerful voice. Dragon guessed that was Mia. An excited but nervous sounding voice followed. Dragon guessed that was Ian. Then Dragon heard an encouraging voice, and guessed that was Max. The last voice Dragon heard was a calm soothing voice. Dragon guessed that was Mike. Dragon skipped out of the forest pretty sure who would be there. And there they were right by the garden. Dragon waved, hurrying over to them.

As the airplanes fly above the island the clouds gather. Will they make it back to the hangar before the storm begins?

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:38
Fantastic Flyers Excerpt:
The airplanes gazed out of the hangar at the beautiful blue sky speckled with fluffy clouds. Holly, Hawk and Herb decided it was a good time to see how things were going around their little world. The three planes rumbled out to the runway and one by one, took off. Meeting each other just below the clouds the planes decided to visit the beach first. So Herb took the lead. After all, the beach was the bright yellow plane’s favorite spot to visit.

Right away Herb spotted a blue bucket lounging in the sand and smiled. Holly the green plane laughed as she watched the little blue penguins popping out of the waves. They certainly seemed to be having fun. Hawk the red plane enjoyed watching the palm trees sway back and forth, back and forth. The beach was a soothing place for all three planes.

Then the red plane took the lead. Hawk wanted to check on the land of ice and snow. So off the trio went, flying through the sky. The air grew cooler and cooler, and the ground changed to white as the planes approached the land of ice and snow. Hawk smiled as he watched a beluga whale blow water out of his spout. Herb was flying a bit low and nearly was splashed. All three planes laughed. Then there was a splash! A penguin popped up and then dove back down. The little whale followed.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

December 21, 2020 454. How Does Our Garden Grow? a calming story and meditation
It's Ian and Mike's turn to check on the community garden and it has really changed since they saw it last.

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:15
How Does Our Garden Grow? Excerpt:
Fluffy clouds drifted across the morning sky as the sun looked for an opening to shine down. It found that opening and sent a cozy sunbeam through Ian’s window. Ian felt the warmth and smiled. His eyes fluttered open and he sat up. Today was his day to check on the garden and he felt curious to see how the plants were doing.

After he dressed, Ian hurried downstairs to eat breakfast. As he ate he kept watching the time. Mike could be there any minute and he didn’t want to be late.

Seeing Ian shoveling his food down, Ian’s dad said, “Slow down, buddy. If Mike gets here early, he’ll wait for you. Let’s take a deep dragon breath.”

Ian really wanted to keep eating, but he knew his dad was right. So, he took a deep dragon breath, in and out, and felt a bit more relaxed. Ian had enough time to finish his breakfast and help his dad do the dishes before Mike got there.

As they finished putting the last clean dish away the doorbell rang. Ian hurried to the door and pulled it open. Waiting there, with a big smile, was Mike.

“Are you ready to see what is growing in our garden?” Mike asked.

Magic Milkweed Excerpt:
Marley waved at Mac as she climbed past him, and over to the next leaf. He smiled with a mouth full of milkweed and then went right back to munching. Num, num, num, num, num.

The milkweed was so delicious, Mac kept on eating and eating. The hole in the leaf grew and grew until… that leaf was gone.

Mac, a little surprised, held onto the stem of the plant and looked around for the next leaf. Marley had already begun nibbling her next leaf, and it was halfway gone. Mac spotted another leaf and so he climbed down to reach it.

On and on the two caterpillars munched their way down the milkweed, until… there were no leaves left. Mac and Marley had eaten the plant down to the ground.

Felicity the Farm Truck and Trenton the Tractor spend the morning doing their chores and enjoying the beauty of the farm.

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:13
Farming Friends Excerpt:
The lights on the farm flickered as the farmer got ready for another big day. Felicity the Farm Truck blinked her lights and yawned. It was time to start working. Although Felicity didn’t like waking up when it was still dark outside, she did enjoy watching the sun rise. It would be a while before that happened, so she got started on her morning chores.

Felicity’s first job was to carry people to their morning tasks. The little green truck rolled across the bumpy ground bouncing as she went. The people riding couldn’t help but laugh, as their ride rolled up and down the fields.

Once everyone was ready to go, Felicity had a moment to enjoy the sunrise. She settled in for the show, and took a deep dragon breath, in and out. Then the farm truck heard a creak. The doors of the big red barn were opening! She turned and rumbled over to the barn, eager to see her best friend. She hoped Trenton the Tractor would hurry out and share this beautiful moment with her.
