One technique, taught as a story

The flower and candle breath: smell the flower in, blow the candle out. The book gets a child to that breath before anyone asks them to use it.

The feeling arrives first

Bloomie gets mad before she gets calm, so the story starts where the child already is.

The breath is drawn, not described

Illustrations show the petals and the face changing, which is easier to copy than an instruction.

It names when to use it

Not just how to breathe, but the moments worth reaching for it: stress, overwhelm, a feeling that will not shrink.

“Slowly, the mad feeling inside her began to shrink.”
From the spread where Bloomie takes one deep breath, then another, and another.

Product questions

What breathing technique does it teach?

The flower and candle breath — breathe in through the nose as if smelling a flower, out through the mouth as if blowing out a candle.

Do I need the Bloomie tool as well?

No. The book works on its own. If you have the Bloomie breathing tool, read the story first and then hand over the thing it describes.

Who made it?

Written by Kathryn Prigge and illustrated by Chris Dye, published by The Calm Caterpillar.

What are the shipping and return terms?
