Merry Mermaid Excerpt:
Lisa and her mom patiently waited in the line. Moving slowly and steadily forward, Finally, they reached the front. Lisa and her mom were on their way in! Now, they just needed to find a place to set the beach bag and their stuff. Lisa’s mom looked around and spotted an open area, with a giant umbrella for shade. She held Lisa’s hand, and began to make her way there.
As they weaved through the crowd, Lisa was bumped and jostled a little bit. Sometimes, people said, “Oh, excuse me!” and sometimes they didn’t seem to know they had bumped into her.
Although she was a little uncomfortable, Lisa understood that it was just that crowded. When Lisa and her mom reached the spot in the shade, Lisa took a deep dragon breath in and out (deep breath). She felt better now that she had more space. Just then another girl, and her mom, squeezed through the crowd to reach the shady spot.
“Hi, I’m Lydia.” The girl said.
“I’m Lisa.” Lisa replied.
Lydia said, “I like your swimsuit. You look like a mermaid.”
“Thanks!” Lisa said. “I like yours too! Purple is one of my favorite colors!” It looked like she would definitely make a new friend today.

After weeks of helping out Emily and Billy have filled up their saving jars. Do they have enough Purchase Power to buy the robot kit?
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:08
Narrator: Female
Purchase Power Excerpt:
Billy and Emily had earned the money in their jars by saving money they got as birthday gifts and for holidays. They had also been busy helping with extra projects beyond their regular chores. As part of the family they helped with the laundry, dishes, and cleaning the house. Emily and Billy enjoyed helping their mom and dad with the chores. They knew that working together meant that they all would have more time for fun together. So, those tasks were just part of being a family.
To fill up the jars on the shelf, Billy and Emily had to do special projects. Emily and Billy helped organize the tools in the garage. They helped plant the spring flowers. They helped weed the vegetable garden. Now the garage was clean and organized. The flower beds were filled with delicate and fragrant flowers. The vegetable garden was tidy with vegetables growing. And Billy and Emily had full savings jars.

Rogelio’s family is going camping. Rogelio would prefer to play with his tablet. How will Rogelio react to the enchanting woods?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story, “Silly Scooters”, Monday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Welcome to Favorite Friday! Please enjoy “The Enchanting Woods” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 9:01
Narrator: Male
The Enchanting Woods Excerpt:
“Now what do we do?” Rogelio asked.
“We should set up the campfire. Would you help me carry the wood we got at the ranger’s station?” his dad asked. Rogelio replied “OK.” as he helped his dad carry the firewood from the fire to the campsite.
Once Rogelio and his dad had carried the firewood to the campsite, his mom and dad started arranging it. Now, Rogelio decided, it would be a good time to use his tablet. He opened his bag, and pulled the tablet out. Rogelio pressed the button. It was still dark. Rogelio pushed the button again and it flickered to life… just long enough to tell him that it needed to be recharged. He had forgotten to charge it, and there was nowhere to plug it in out in the woods.
Today’s Meditation: Deep dragon breaths are a key part of this guided meditation as you relax your body from your toes up to the top of your head.

Lydia is ready for finger painting. She learns the magic of colors with her dad as they blend colors together. What do you think happened?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story, “Happy Dragon”, Monday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Welcome to Favorite Friday! Please enjoy “The Magic of Colors.” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 9:03
Narrator: Female
The Magic of Colors Story Excerpt:
He put a glob of red on his paper and then added a glob of yellow. Where the two colors were closest, he began to draw circles in the paint with his finger. As a result, the yellow swirled into the red. The red swirled into the yellow. With each circle the trails the colors grew thinner. A new color was emerging. It was orange!
“Wow!” Lydia said. “What other colors can we make?”
“All of them.” Her dad said. “Why don’t you try it out?”
Lydia was excited to try the magic. She looked at the beautiful orange and decided she would try yellow and blue. So just like her dad, Lydia dropped a glob of blue and yellow on her paper and drew circles in the paint with her fingers. The blue swirled into the yellow. The yellow swirled into the blue. With each circle the trails of each color grew thinner and a new color was emerging. It was green! Soon there was a fluffy green cloud of color on Lydia’s page. “Your turn.” She said to her dad smiling.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

It’s bedtime and Mia has a question for her mom. She wonders what love is, and how she can share her love with others. Find out what she learns.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:06
Narrator: Female
Love Is Story Excerpt:
“Then Mia asked, “How do you know if someone loves you? I know we say I love you. Are there other ways to know?”
Mia’s mom smiled and said, “If you watch and listen, you can see lots of ways.”
Mia sat up and asked, “How?”
Her mom responded, “People and animals show they care in lots of ways. Kids might invite you to play. A puppy or kitty might wait for you to walk in the door after school. You might see a cat feeding and snuggling with a little duckling along with all her kittens.”
Mia looked puzzled and asked, “A cat would take care of a different animal?”
Mia’s mom nodded. “Yes, that’s part of what makes it love. Doing something for someone, especially when you don’t have to, or when caring for them may even be difficult.”
Meditation Description: Feel your body fill with warmth and love as you send your loving energy to the world.
We’re happy to be part of the KidsListen Pride week, celebrating all families and people. “Love Is…” is our way of saying we are all more alike than different, so let’s show each other how much we care!
