On a quiet beach when everyone was asleep, baby sea turtles attempt to plod their way towards the ocean. They _swish_, _swash_, and stumble across different sights along the way. Without the moon to light their path, they only have each other to rely on — or so they think. Join them on their journey as the venture along the beach, in the sand, in search of home.

This Grounded Kids ocean story is written and narrated by Danielle Calma.

Listen, do you hear that?

It’s the whale song of Bally the Blue whale, calling out to you from the waves beyond. You hear it in your heart and feel that it is good. You want to get closer to the sound.

She has some very special messages she would like to share with you. That YOU ARE LOVED.

This guided meditation by Grounded, invites kids to start a practice of using positive affirmations to encourage healthy self talk to instill a sense of self-love! After hearing each one, they are invited to repeat it quietly in their mind, or say them out loud.

Allow Bally’s whale song to wash over you and fill your day with peace, beauty and wonder at the miracle that you are!

After a hunting incident that separates a young whale from her mother, Bally the Blue Whale swims the oceans on her own in search of her whale song. With nothing but a tune in her head to keep her company, Bally goes on a journey where she encounters other sea creatures that help her discover her voice, and with some luck, some newfound family along the way.

This Grounded Kids ocean story is written and narrated by Maria Tuason.
