This is the third book in the Yogi Superhero Series, which has quickly become my daughter’s favorite. Anna Smithers has written beautiful books, and this particular one seems to me like the perfect choice for the pandemic time, as it offers children the opportunity to learn about the benefits of yoga, mindfulness and relaxation.
What a wonderful book! I read it to my daughter and I loved how the author walked children through relaxation techniques. As she has herself put it, “even superheroes need to rest”. I believe books like this can help children cope with the agitation that comes after playing or spending an entire day in kindergarten or school. Self-soothing can be hard sometimes, but not when you have a great book like this by your side.
For me, the combination of brilliant illustrations and simple relaxation techniques was a big plus. I am always looking for books that can teach my daughter valuable lessons, especially in terms of stress and anxiety. I know she needs my help to calm down and release the tension accumulated throughout the day. So, it was nice to see relaxation techniques that we could try on the spot. They helped her feel better and, at the same time, to become more aware of her body.
My little girl is a superhero, smart and assertive, but she is still too young to understand the effects of tiredness on her body. We read this book and I saw that she tried to apply the things she learned, which made me happy. Even I, as an adult, found these techniques to be beneficial. I believe this book could also be used by teachers to teach children about healthy habits that can be adopted without too much effort.
We loved this book! It was the perfect bedtime read, and it was so nice to see my daughter relaxed and ready for sleep. As a parent, I highly recommended all the books in the series, and I applaud the author for inviting kids to offer their ideas for new Yogi Superhero adventures. They can even send her letters and drawings, which is great!

Time to rest!

I absolutely love this series! Time to rest is a great addition to the yogi superhero collection! Kids and adults can benefit from reading this rhyming story to learn the calming and relaxing techniques to slow down and be mindful of their bodies and breathing. This is a great book to have in classrooms and at home to help kids calm down after playtime. The illustrations are gorgeous and soothing to look at as well. We need more books like these for children.

People of all ages would enjoy reading this book! I love the rhyming style of storytelling and the illustrations complement the text very well! I especially liked the part about the light of the star and how it repeats with each part of the body becoming soft. It's a great mindfulness technique. I felt so calm and relaxed reading it! It's a wonderful book reminding us all about the importance of rest and relaxation. A book you can read over and over again!

This book is a perfect bedtime read and could be used as part of Yoga Nidra practice for little ones. Wonderfully magical illustrations combine to make this a lovely read out-loud book, or one that younger children can enjoy through the illustrations alone. A great book for all yogis too of course!

Fantastic, relaxing, soothing and beautiful!

Honestly, this book not only calmed my son but me too! The images throughout the book are beautiful, but even just the way it is written is like the most perfect meditation. You can actually feel it in your body as you read. The perfect bedtime story or for those days when everything seems just a little bit overwhelming. We loved it!

This is the most relaxing and soothing children’s book I’ve ever read. The illustrations are stunning and complement the story so well! I don’t have much yoga experience myself, but this book makes me feel like I can easily follow Yogi Superhero’s example and feel at peace. This is overall a beautiful and lovely story that so many people could benefit from.
