Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 9:34
Nature Walk Excerpt:
“Grandpa, what’s an estuary?” Max asked.
“It’s where part of a sea or an ocean meets a river. The water is a mix of salty sea water and fresh river water, and there are wetlands all around. An estuary is a very special place – many different kinds of animals, birds, and fish live there.”
“Wow,” said Mia, “Let’s go!”
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
