About the author

2 books3 followersVictoria M. Remmel
Even when she was a scientist in a different life, Victoria has always made room for writing. She left that world of assays and centrifuges far behind (only after getting her superpowers, of course) to pursue other passions.
Now, Victoria is the author of family-friendly short stories and comics, though she enjoys working on her own personal projects as well. She has lived a life of daring and adventure, including snowboarding, skydiving, and surfing, and is on to the next great adventure: parenthood. She currently resides in Texas with her husband and their two sons. She enjoys running, yoga, swimming, and watercolor (though illustrating terrifies her) and is most looking forward to taking her boys on some adventures of their own.

Gorgeous watercolor illustrations accompany soothing text encouraging kids to breathe and center themselves, on a level easy to understand and fun to do (e.g. smell the flowers and blow a bubble). A great book for calming a child or group. This will be a fun storytime read aloud!

“Huff & Puff: A Tiny Human’s Guide to Mindful Breathing” is a wonderful little book to help teach calming habits to toddlers. As they develop, they will have plenty of new and big emotions they’ll encounter along the way, so it’s a good idea for them to learn some easy breathing techniques early on. Family-friendly author Victoria M. Remmel helps navigate very simple breathing techniques for them by incorporating activities kids love to do anyway, such as smelling flowers and fruit (breathe in) and blowing a pinwheel or a birthday candle (breathe out).
The pages are particularly bright and colorful, incorporating serenity, nature, and fun. Illustrator Eunjung June Kim draws the reader in with cute characters, smiles, and imaginative settings that will encourage kids to want to do the exercises on their own. There’s even a pop-up section to help them count their breaths and remember the sequence. “Huff & Puff” is an excellent board book to introduce little ones to mindfulness and emotional self-awareness.
