There’s a Balloon in My Belly is a gentle, beautifully illustrated introduction to belly breathing for young children. Using simple language and soothing imagery, this calming story helps children learn how their breath can help them feel safe, relaxed and calm.
As children follow along, they are guided to notice how their “balloon” softly grows in their belly, sides and back as they breathe slowly and quietly through their nose. Designed to achieve diaphragmatic breathing, encourage body awareness and emotional regulation, this book introduces breathing in a playful and accessible way that children can easily understand.
Perfect for bedtime, quiet moments, classrooms, therapy settings and everyday calm.
