Inviting illustrations and friendly text encourages young readers to appreciate the beauty of nature on our doorstep.
Doing a body scan, mindful breathing, focusing on the senses... there are all kinds of ways to be mindful with your body. Mindfulness and My Body guides children through exercises and activities that encourage them to slow down and pay attention. Activities encourage readers to think not of the past or the future, but right now.
