Mindfulness is experiencing a renaissance as a conscious and considered approach to life, beckons us to do more than just survive the stresses of daily life. It calls us to thrive and live happily.

This pensive and peaceful book encourages children to slow down and become deliberate with their day-to-day actions and thoughts. With gentle rhythms and soothing imagery, kids may be guided toward a quiet self-awareness and mindfulness. And when a day feels stressful or topsy-turvy, kids can use such self-awareness to calm down and feel better. Kids can then enjoy the beauty of the world all around them and fully savour life.

“I take the time to fix my little mistakes

And to be sad, if I need to

To think about what I’ve dreamt

To listen to silence

To heal my hurt feelings

I take the time to love

And then I feel better”
