Finding your way thru feelings with a bit of yoga like moves.

Delightfully reassuring story for those feeling a bit anxious, sad or just a bit off.

I liked the first half of the book and could visualize sharing it in story time--kids would love the interactive nature. The second half felt disjointed and more poetic than interactive. Eh.
