This really is a most beautiful book. I have been using it with my 4 year old and it has been excellent for helping him to relax and unwind.
We use it just before bed time and settle down together to explore the gorgeous illustrations and the calming words which help him to settle and calm his busy mind just before bed.
Mindfulness such a beneficial practice for adults and children alike, although this book is aimed at children mostly, I find myself looking forward to reading it with my son and the enjoying the calming peacefulness that it brings to our bed time routine.
It took a little while for my son to let himself relax and feel the benefits of the mindfulness, I think it is a practice which can take some time to pick up, but once we had done it a few times I found that this book has been the perfect introduction because each time he is able to engage more with the process.
I wish we had it sooner because it has certainly made bed time a calmer and more enjoyable experience.
