Billie and the brilliant bubble

social distancing for children
Billie and the Brilliant Bubble was born when social distancing orders began in early 2020. Tara wanted a fun and simple way to explain the new guidelines to her young daughters, Alexandria and Addison. One day, while Tara and the girls were on a walk, it dawned on her that Alex and Addison loved bubbles. It would be fun pretending they were inside an imaginary bubble that protects them from germs and keeps their family and friends healthy. When restrictions were in place, the girls were still able to walk around the nature trail, ride their scooters, and go for ice cream with Mommy and Daddy, all in the safety of their imaginary bubbles. Alex and Addison had so much fun with their magical bubbles, Tara knew she had to share the idea. Billie and the Brilliant Bubble simplifies the concept of social distancing to help families teach their children the importance of social distancing. Tara sincerely hopes you and your family enjoy many bubble-filled adventures of your own.
