The meditative picture book that Kirkus Reviews
recommends as “a practical introduction to mindfulness meditation, as an
example of the practice, and as a guide”—now in paperback!
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 with 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 board book, making it a helpful resource for homes, classrooms,
and beyond.
