Too Many Bubbles

Too Many Bubbles was a great read. As someone that suffers from anxiety myself and has since I was a young child, I think that this book would be so helpful for children to understand that they aren't the only ones that feel this way and also that sometimes you just need to take a break, go to a safe place, and breathe. I loved this book and would highly recommend it to others!

Children can be overwhelmed with so many emotions that cause anxiety which lead to behavior /academic problems. Mindfulness or awareness of emotions can help children sort thru these "bubbles" that cause them to be easily overwhelmed. The book itself is simplistic in nature. Using bubbles and breathing or blowing out the bubbles can give children a visual of these emotions. It validates and solves all in one "breath".

Izzy the mouse is the main character and all her bubbles. As each one disappears, she feels the weight of being overwhelmed slowly disappear. Good book to discuss with your little one.

A special thank you to Sourcebooks Kids and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

What a great picture of what mindfulness looks like in a way that kids can easily understand. I was in a bad mood when I read this book and it helped me push the negative thoughts away.

This is the best book for an adult or a child that struggles with nervousness. The illustrations on how Mouse is so bombarded with all of his thoughts, it feels like all of them are bubbles. The bubbles begin to overwhelm him so much that it conquers the whole page!! What mouse learns is that you can blow all of the bubbles, all of the things that you are thinking on away into the world. Once he does that, he begins to feel better. I really liked that at the end of the story it gave several pages of how you can be mindful and relieve stress.
