Description

Breathe in . . . and breathe out . . . with this unique interactive book that offers mindful breathing exercises and calming textures for children to trace with their fingers as they inhale and exhale.

This oversize board book with die-cuts combines textured calming strips and deep-breathing exercises to encourage mindfulness.

With inspiring affirmations and a textured calming strip for kids to trace with their fingertips on each spread, this is a wonderful playroom or classroom tool to help lessen anxiety, anger, overstimulation, and many more big emotions little ones may not yet understand how to identify, describe, or regulate.

If you feel stuck in the mud, breathe in and out as you trace the outline of a bright flower's petals. If you feel your worries whirl and swirl, breathe in and out as you trace textured ocean waves. Other shapes include a rainbow, a star, a butterfly's wings, mountain tops, a swirling breeze, and a heart.

Critical Reviews

"Engaging illustrations and text that honor the big emotions of young children will help them gain control and possibly master calm; this could be useful in primary classrooms or other spaces where children can be given an opportunity to work though their feelings. Recommended."
