Slumberland: Valley of the Fairies

(insects chirping) Welcome, dream travelers. I'm so happy you've come back to visit. My name is Astrid the Aeronaut and this big hot air balloon is my favorite place to be. It loves taking dream travelers like you on adventures through Slumberland. Come climb into the balloon basket and get comfy. It's got blankets and fluffy pillows and everything you need to snuggle up and get warm and cozy. Tonight we are going somewhere that feels like a dream. When I close my eyes, I imagine a world where twinkling stars turn into flying fairies, where gentle unicorns dance through moonlit fields, and where flowers glow softly, even at night. In my dreams, rivers shimmer, the air sparkles, and all sorts of friendly, enchanting creatures peek out to say hello. Where we are going feels just like that. It's an island full of magic where there are so many glittering surprises just waiting to be discovered. But first, our balloon needs a tiny bit of help. It needs to be filled with warm air before it can float into the sky. Do you think you can help me give it a boost so we can lift off together? (footsteps crunching) First, to help fill the balloon with air, we need to take some deep breaths. Taking slow, gentle breaths will calm our minds and clear our heads and help the balloon lift properly into the sky. Let's place our hands on our tummies and take a big breath in. Try it with me. Breathe in for four. One, two, three, four. And now let it all out with a big huff. (air whooshing) Ooh, that's it, you're doing it. Let's go again, big breath in. One, two, three, four, and out. (air whooshing) Wow, we're starting to lift off. I can feel the hot air balloon rising. Another, in for one, two, three, four, and out. (air whooshing) Another, in for one, two, three, four, and out. (air whooshing) The balloon is almost full. Let's give it on last big breath. One, two, three, four, and phew! (hot air blasts) We're off, amazing job. Now that we're climbing up, do you see the silver treetops and grassy hills below? Wave to the sweet flowers on earth, blooming beneath us in the moonlight. Now we're floating nice and easy above the clouds. Can you see them drifting past us? Can you see shapes in the clouds? What else do you see around us? (hot air huffing) You did it, here we are in Slumberland. There are so many places to discover here by using our imagination. (hot air huffing) (waves whooshing) Moving away from the rainforest, we float out over calm blue seas. (waves whooshing) It's such a clear night to go flying in our hot air balloon. (waves whooshing) What's that on the horizon? Do you see that moon-dappled island rising in the distance? The whole island sparkles with raindrops. As we fly closer, the hot air balloon drips over meadows of bluebells and...
