Assistant Principal and former early-childhood educator Ana Angelica Teodoro teaches young children a calming breathing activity in her colorful debut picturebook, “Ezekiel’s Volcano: A Story About Calming Big Feelings and Finding Your Inner Rainbow” (Barnes & Daughter Press, May 12, 2026, ages 4-8).
Inspired by a student from her first year teaching, Ana’s delightful story teaches kids a useful breathing activity to help them find calm in the stormiest moments. In this heartfelt classroom story, we meet Ezekiel: a bright, energetic first grader whose feelings sometimes get a little…explosive. When big emotions bubble up, his classroom feels shaky, loud, and unpredictable, just like a volcano about to erupt. But when Ezekiel learns a new skill called Rainbow Breathing, he discovers that he can calm even his biggest feelings, one color at a time. With the gentle support of his teacher Mrs. B and his classmates, Ezekiel learns that inside every eruption is a chance for new beginnings.
