From a Grain of Sand: Happiness

Just as an oyster turns a grain of sand into a pearl, in this magical musical tale, children learn how to turn pesky thoughts into happy ones. Joyful children’s voices in the role of characters teach children the art of “pearling.” Adding to the guided imagery, the use of a theme song brings children to a new level of self-acceptance. Listening to the rhymes, rhythms, and music of the ocean, children follow their breathing and become present to the moment. Learning how to watch their thoughts without becoming upset, they can redirect their attention and go below the surface of the ocean waves to find the calm within—the pearl.
