A beautifully illustrated digital ebook + calming audio experiences that help children return to the
breathing they were born for to support emotional regulation naturally.
Come with Big AL on his journey through the Australian outback to meet three cheeky characters, also know as The Calm Crew and remember that calm lives within - one quite breath at a time!
Through gentle storytelling, playful connection, and hands-on breathing with each character, children will discover that calm can be as easy as ABC — Always use your nose, Belly breaths, and Closed mouth, calm breathing.
This book is more than a story — it’s an educational tool, guiding children to understand their feelings, regulate their bodies, and build emotional strength in a way that feels fun, safe, and empowering.
Together, you’ll breathe, learn, and create moments of connection that last far beyond the final page.

Author, Breath Educator & Founder of The Big AL Foundation
Welcome,
I am Trish, Author, Breath Educator, Mum of Seven and Founder of The Big AL Foundation - Emotional Fitness for the Next Generation.
After losing my beautiful 21 year old son Alex (Big AL) by suicide five years ago, I have embarked on a personal mission to create the next generation of calm kids, because calm is who they are and it is time we start to teach it.
This book has been an absolute creation of love and something I hope your entire family will enjoy sharing together.
Warm regards
Trish

On the 15th April 2021, I lost my precious 21 year old son Alex. He was the most incredible young man who wanted to build a better world for his generation. I started a foundation in his honour called "The Big AL Foundation - Emotional Fitness for the Next Generation", where we teach the breath to help children and teens regulate their emotions and nervous system.
While my heart beats with his and yours together we can build the next generation of calm kids, because that is who they are and what they deserve.
Alex's legacy of love will forever continue as he brings children to calm all over the world.
Calm Isn’t Something to Find - It’s Something Children Remember — When We Teach Them Early.
When children are born, breathing is natural:
Nose breathing
Belly rising and falling
Quiet, calm, and rhythmic
But by age five, around 50% of children shift into mouth breathing, which can impact:
Nervous system regulation
Focus and emotional resilience
Sleep and behaviour
Long-term wellbeing
Big AL & the Calm Crew was created to gently guide children back to that natural state — through story, repetition, and play...No pressure...No fixing...Just remembering.


This is isn’t just run of the mill bedtime story - It’s a co-regulation tool.
Children don’t learn calm by being told to “calm down.”
They learn calm by feeling safety in their body — and that begins with breath.
When you read this story with your child, you are:
Teaching nervous system regulation early
Supporting healthy brain and emotional development
Giving them language for self-soothing
Becoming their primary regulator, not their fixer
You’re planting a seed that can support them for life.
Set in the beautiful Australian outback, this hand-illustrated watercolour story follows Big AL on his walk to school as he meets three bush friends who teach him a simple, lifelong skill:
🌈 Easy as ABC Breathing
A – Always Use Your Nose (quiet nose breathing)
B – Belly Breaths (diaphragm-led calm)
C – Closed Mouth, Calm Breathing (gentle, safe, regulated breathing)
Through Millie the Mouse 🐭, Wazza the Wombat 🐾, and Tommy the Turtle 🐢 children learn that:
Calm isn’t something they need to earn.
It’s something their body already knows and
will always return to when we breath the way we are
designed to breath.
Breathing is the fastest way to signal safety to a child’s nervous system. When breathing is quiet and gentle, the body shifts out of stress and into calm — naturally.
Babies breathe through their nose, with soft bellies and calm rhythms. As life becomes faster and more stimulating, many children drift away from this natural pattern
Calm isn’t created by managing behaviour. It emerges when the body feels safe. Healthy breathing supports regulation first — behaviour follows.
When children learn to return to calm early, they build lifelong regulation skills. This is early prevention — supporting not just today’s child, but the calm parent and adult they’ll become.
Big AL & the Calm Crew is a gentle story and audio bundle for children aged 3-11 designed to help them return to calm through healthy breathing and nervous system support.
Instant digital access. Includes the ebook, PDF, audiobook, guided meditation version and bonuses.
