I read this with my 4-year old and it was perfect to help her calm down after a hectic first week at school. It complements the yoga we do perfectly, and I think will grow with her as she’s able to appreciate more of the mindful skills in it.
Like all children she loves animals and really enjoyed to beautiful colourful pictures. It’s lovely to have a book that combines activity, and we did the breathing together. I think it even helped to calm my 3-month old to hear us calming breathing and listening together.
I’d love there to be more books like this, that help children to develop skills to manage their emotions and calm themselves down ready for sleep. Modern life is so full-on, including for children, so it’s important that they learn to slow down, breathe, and appreciate stillness early. I’m sure we’ll keep reading this book for months and years.
