The Thinking Bubbles

The Thinking Bubbles 🫧💜

Inspired by a True Story

What if your child could learn that they don’t have to believe every thought that pops into their head?

The Thinking Bubbles is a heartwarming children’s book inspired by a true story and a real conversation between a mother and her daughter.

When a simple conversation about all the “talking” happening inside her daughter’s head turned into the idea of thinking bubbles, a story was born.

Through a lovable bunny character and beautifully illustrated thinking bubbles, children discover that thoughts can be happy, worried, silly, encouraging, or sometimes unhelpful—and having a thought doesn’t mean they have to keep it.

Children are introduced to a simple way to respond to their thoughts:

🫧 Notice it.
🫧 Name it.
🫧 Keep it.
🫧 Pop it.
🫧 Or talk about it.

Why families will love The Thinking Bubbles

Big feelings can be difficult for little kids to explain. The Thinking Bubbles gives families simple language they can use long after the story is over.

Instead of a child only knowing, “I feel bad,” they can begin recognizing, “I’m having a worried thinking bubble.”

The story can help open conversations about worry, negative self-talk, mistakes, confidence, asking for help, and difficult emotions in a way that feels approachable rather than overwhelming.

It also introduces encouraging thoughts children can carry with them:

“I’m brave.”
“I can try.”
“I can ask for help.”
“I matter.”

Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, counseling offices, calm-down spaces, and meaningful conversations between children and the adults who love them.

Written by Renee Brewington and illustrated by her daughter, Brielle Gonzalez, The Thinking Bubbles is a mother-daughter creation made with one goal in mind: helping kids understand their thoughts and feelings a little better.

“We can’t stop every thinking bubble from showing up, but we can choose which ones to keep.” 🫧💜
