Overview

This picture book is meant to teach, guide and allow children (and adults!) to experience mindful moments through guided imagery and breathing techniques as they follow along a young girl and her adventures camping and exploring in the wild. As mindfulness is the intentional practice of experiencing the here and now without letting our thoughts or feelings interrupt, this book allows children to be fully immersed in the moment while bringing an awareness and calm to their body while they listen or read. They will have moments throughout the book to pause and be guided in a mindful moment as they learn about and practice mindfulness while incorporating themes of nature and wilderness. Each page is full of colorful and whimsical illustrations that invite readers to put themselves in the story and add to the mindfulness journey. Wild Mindfulness is great for kids of all ages and would be a perfect fit for any home, classroom or school library! This book also features an extended vocabulary definition page as well as a tip sheet for educators and parents to help incorporate moments of mindfulness into the day.

Laura Larson's Wild Mindfulness is the perfect antidote to our stressful and fast-paced lives. While reading this book I felt noticeably calmer and more at peace. It is amazing to experience the difference that a few moments of slowing down and paying attention can make. While mindfulness can sometimes seem like an abstract idea, this book gives clear and simple mindfulness practices that are easy to follow and to make a part of our daily lives. With children and adults spending more time than ever online working and attending school, Wild Mindfulness provides a serene break and shows how practicing mindfulness is readily available to each of us, no matter where we are. Filled with reminders to get fresh air and to be more present in the moment, Wild Mindfulness is an enjoyable and highly recommended read. --Readers Favorite Review
