This is a really calming book for young children and a perfect bedtime read to relax with at the end of the day.
The illustrations are beautiful and rich with colour yet muted to fit the tone of the story. The soft oceans, sunsets, streams and starry skies all lend themselves to the concept of mindfulness and nature.
The story teaches methods of deep breathing and releasing tension which adults can do alongside children when reading the book and is a great introduction to unwinding and being present in the moment. There is a useful section for parents and caregivers at the front of the book explaining the methods and purpose of the book too.
The book and illustrations can be enjoyed by all ages but I would say it is most suitable for young school age children (approx 4 to 7 year olds) as I think they would be able to appreciate the message of the book more and benefit the most from it.
Thank you to Readers First for the copy of this book.
