Flora and the Laughing River, Kira Carrillo Corser's video, uses beautiful visuals and original songs to help teach children important skills for wellness and empowerment.

Flora is sick, and her little sister, Maraya, is having a frustrating day. Grandmother begins the story by reminding them how to do relaxing breathing. She tells the story of a special bird that knows of a magical river deep in the forest. The Laughing River has one of the secrets of wellness, and Flora goes on a journey to find it and help herself feel better.

    Along the way she meets a grouchy bear with a sore back, a deer that is afraid of everything. and two bickering birds. Flora teaches them relaxing breathing to help them on their journey to the River. The Laughing River tells Flora that she already knows one of the secrets of wellness, "Imagination". Each character learns to use his or her imagination to help when they are sick, have pain, and when they feel frustrated or angry.

A parent/teacher guide (co-written by Mariquita Craft, MA,MHT,CRT,CSC) and an audio tape is enclosed so that after watching the video a child can be helped to do personalized relaxing breathing and visualization. A Breathing Bear "B-Bear" puppet is available.
