Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You


























The Book



"Mindful Moves" is a wonderful way to introduce kids to calmness and quiet.  The author guides the reader through a variety of activities including meditation, breathing techniques, affirmations and yoga poses.  The content is presented in an easy understandable way and the wonderful illustrations enrich the author's mission.  


The book is an invaluable tool for parents, kids, caregivers and educators.  Mindfulness contributes greatly to a kids physical, mental, and socio-emotional development and can be practised daily for optimum results.  "Check Your Inner Weather" suggests that kids tune into how they feel in the moment and accept those feelings without condemnation, while "Breathe like a Walrus" deals with their anger and frustrations through breathing and facial relaxation, just to name a few. Each mindful, mediative yoga, and movement activity enables kids to calm themselves, focus and be happy.  This is the perfect book to share at this moment in time with all the disruptions and unknown entities that are happening in their lives right now.  I highly recommend this book.
