The Book

                                 

 Rex, is a scrappy aggressive tough tyrannosaurus.  His friend Sam is the complete opposite in temperament.  Sam is gentle and calm and loves to still himself while he meditates.  How in the world can the two dinosaurs be good friends when they have polar opposite characteristics ?  

Rex cannot not fathom how sauropod Sam can withdraw from their rollicking playtimes to be still and enjoy some necessary quiet time.  Of course, being friends, Sam always invites his rowdy friend to join him but Rex always declined his offer.  

Will Rex finally discover the beauty and importance of meditating and decide to practice mindfulness himself? 

"Dinos Don't Meditate" is a lovely story to share with a child that may have super high-energy and finds it hard to slow down, breathe, pay attention and be still.  Kids will discover the benefits of peaceful timeouts. Those quiet times highlight how enjoyable  times of relaxation can actually be.  

The colourful expressive illustrations depict adorable relatable dinosaur characters.  The author includes  simple mindfulness guidance, including Mesozoic meditations that children can practice at home at the end of the book.  

I love the book ( especially the character Rex, he's my favourite  ) and I highly recommend the book.
