Remix Story
Queen Neena, a cheerful young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, walks through a garden full of oversized red, blue, yellow, and pink flowers, smiling with her arms open wide. In the background, a gentle castle with rounded towers in warm yellows and purples sits atop soft rolling hills under smiling white clouds and a peeking golden sun.

Good morning, little kingdom! The sun is up. The clouds smile. Queen Neena puts on her tall, golden crown and walks into her garden. What a happy day!

A tall tower of colorful wooden blocks — red, blue, yellow, green, and purple — stacked high on a soft grassy hill, wobbling just slightly at the top. In the background, oversized red, blue, yellow, and pink flowers sway gently in the garden.

Queen Neena loves to build! She stacks her blocks up, up, up. Red block. Blue block. Yellow block. Look how tall! "This is my best tower!" she says.

Queen Neena, a young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, stares down with wide eyes and a trembling frown at colorful wooden blocks — red, blue, yellow, green, and purple — scattered across the grass. In the background, the smiling white clouds have turned their smiles into little round 'o' shapes of surprise.

Oh no! Wobble, wobble… CRASH! Down fall the blocks. Red block. Blue block. Yellow block. All on the ground. Queen Neena's tower is gone.

Queen Neena, a young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, stomps her foot on the grass with fists clenched and a big frown, a swirling red glow surrounding her like a warm cloud. In the background, the oversized flowers in the garden droop slightly, and the golden sun peeks out with a gentle, concerned face.

A big, red, grumbly feeling fills Queen Neena up inside. It starts in her tummy. It moves to her chest. It goes all the way to her face! She is MAD. Stomp, stomp, stomp go her feet. Her frown gets big. The red feeling gets bigger… and BIGGER!

Queen Neena, a young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, stands still with her eyes gently closed, holding a big pink oversized flower near her nose with one hand and a sparkly purple pinwheel in the other, the swirling red glow around her fading to a softer pink. In the background, soft rolling hills stretch out under a calm sky with gently smiling white clouds.

Then Queen Neena stops. She remembers something. Breathe in — smell the flower. Breathe out — blow the pinwheel. In… and out. In… and out. Slow and soft. Can you breathe with her?

A small, round bluebird with bright blue feathers, a tiny orange beak, and kind dark eyes perches on the branch of a tree covered in little white blossoms, tilting its head to one side. In the background, the gentle castle with rounded towers in warm yellows and purples sits on soft rolling hills.

The big red feeling gets smaller. And smaller. It is still there, but it is not so loud now. Queen Neena opens her eyes. She sees her friend sitting on a branch.

Queen Neena, a young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, looks up at a small round bluebird with bright blue feathers and a tiny orange beak, speaking gently with one hand on her heart, a faint warm pink glow around her chest. In the background, oversized red, blue, yellow, and pink flowers bloom tall in the garden.

"Little bluebird," says Queen Neena, "I feel angry. My tower fell down and I am mad." She says it out loud. I am angry. And you know what? Saying it makes the feeling less scary.

A small, fluffy white bunny with long floppy ears, a pink nose, and bright round eyes hops across the green grass toward Queen Neena, a young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, who kneels down to listen. In the background, a patch of orange carrots pokes out of a little garden beside oversized colorful flowers.

A soft little bunny hops over. "I get angry too," says the bunny. "When I cannot find my carrots, I feel mad inside. But I ask for help, and that feels better."

A tiny bright green frog with big golden eyes and spotted skin sits on a smooth gray rock beside a small puddle, looking up with a friendly wide smile. In the background, soft rolling green hills stretch under a sky with smiling white clouds and the golden sun peeking in.

A tiny green frog jumps up. Ribbit! "I get angry too," says the frog. "When it does not rain, I feel grumbly. But I talk about it, and the grumbly feeling gets small."

A small, shiny red ladybug with tiny black spots and delicate transparent wings rests on the outstretched finger of Queen Neena, a young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, who smiles softly down at it. In the background, a sparkly purple pinwheel spins gently beside oversized red, blue, yellow, and pink flowers.

A little red ladybug lands on Queen Neena's finger. "I get angry too," says the ladybug. "When the wind blows me far away, I feel mad. But I breathe, just like you, and I feel okay again."

A small round bluebird with bright blue feathers and a tiny orange beak, a fluffy white bunny with floppy ears, a tiny bright green frog, and a small shiny red ladybug all sit together in a cozy circle on the soft green grass. In the background, the gentle castle with rounded towers in warm yellows and purples glows warmly under a golden afternoon sun.

Queen Neena looks at her friends — the bunny, the frog, the ladybug, and the little bluebird. Everyone feels angry sometimes! It is okay. You can breathe. You can talk. You can ask for help.

Queen Neena, a young queen with a tall golden crown and a flowing purple dress, holds both hands softly over her heart where a tiny warm golden-pink glow shines through her fingers, her face peaceful and calm. In the background, the golden sun sets in soft pinks and oranges behind the gentle castle with rounded towers in warm yellows and purples, as smiling white clouds drift in a dusky sky.

Now the big red feeling is tiny and warm, like a little light in Queen Neena's heart. She holds it gently. It is part of her, and that is okay. Tomorrow is a brand-new day in her little kingdom — and whatever she feels, she will never feel it alone.
