grass and it fills my lungs with energy.
Parents, educators, and health practitioners everywhere are recognizing
the importance of mindfulness practice, particularly for children.
Meditation and yoga are becoming common activities in kindergarten
classes and beyond. Taking time to be still and pay attention to their
thoughts and bodies helps kids feel calm, focused, and in control. In A
World of Mindfulness, meditative text reflects on the sensory ways
children experience life, from the feeling of their muscles when they
run...to the sound of a turning page...to the memory-laden taste of
fresh-baked cookies. Positive and negative emotions are alike
acknowledged and affirmed, and a strong sense of self is reinforced.
Richly illustrated by fourteen artists will all-new original art, A
World of Mindfulness will create its own quiet moments as children
revisit its lavish pages. A closing note about mindfulness practice
rounds out this picture book, making it a helpful resource for homes,
classrooms, and beyond.
