What a delightful and moving story!! It is so refreshing to see the 'Mindfulness' movement represented in the story of a little girl of color and her teacher who looks just like her. Representation and relationships do matter. Sharing this story through the experience of a little girl from a community that is often overlooked fills a great need in children's literature. The book serves a dual purpose - providing a story that many children can relate to and guidance for educators as an introduction to 'Mindfulness' as an effective strategy to assist in the healthy social-emotional development of children. The alphabetical glossary is brilliant! I will definitely add this to my collection of 'mirror books' and encourage classroom teachers and librarians everywhere to do the same. I anticipate that My'Angel will become one of our childhood storybook characters who will be remembered for many years to come!! -Dr. Joy Lawson Davis, Author, Scholar and Educational Consultant
