Breathe Like a Bear teaches kids how to flex their mindfulness muscles and be calm, focused, imaginative, energized and relaxed. Kira Willey offers up fun activities that are sure to captivate young audiences and start them developing positive energy-producing habits for their physical and mental well-being. And as Michelle Kelsey Mitchell points out in the foreword, "Children who practice mindfulness are better able to self-regulate, have improved social skills... and demonstrate higher self-esteem." Accentuating the engaging exercises are delightful illustrations of animals and nature portrayed in strikingly bold colors. This enjoyable, interactive book is a sneaky way to promote a healthy approach to life with the small people you value most. --Jen Forbus, freelancer
