Great Book About Mindful Practices for Kids
This is a great book to teach kids about mindful practices such a breathing exercises to help them when they are anxious/have a lot in their mind. Story is great and so are the illustrations.

Deep breathing helps to be aware of oneself, to understand and to order everything that we carry inside. In this book for children, which can also be very useful for young people and adults, we learn exercises that will lead to peace and personal fulfillment.

La respiración profunda ayuda a ser consciente de uno mismo, a comprender y a ordenar todo lo que llevamos dentro. En este libro para niños, que también puede ser de gran utilidad para jóvenes y adultos, aprendemos ejercicios que desembocarán en paz y plenitud personal.

The Power of Words?
I was expecting a more positive confession approach for children than breathing techniques.
The scary things received more attention than the breathing techniques.
This is why I always read the book myself before sharing with my children.
In my opinion this book would make them afraid than focusing on overcoming their fears with deep breathing.

A delightful book!
The subject of this book is perfect for children during these trying times. The rhyming text will help hold a child's short attention span, and the illustrations are colorful and delightful. An informative and delightful book!

Love it!
It’s a children’s book but I loved it honestly for myself. Because remembering to breath and get through it and truly important even when it seems hard. Great book for kids and adults as well.
