A Yoga Story about Friendship, Happiness, and Acceptance
Anna finds happiness practicing yoga at recess. She imagines traveling the world and exploring new places. Will her new classmates accept her and join the fun?
Giselle Shardlow, M.Ed., founder of Kids Yoga Stories, uses one of the yoga principles that states, “To be happy yourself, be happy for those around you” in this gentle yoga book for children.
Anna, who feels shy and nervous on her first day at a new school, is guided by this yoga principle, which her mother taught her. She finds a way to be happy on the inside and not worry about fitting in.
Anna’s happiness comes from within her and blossoms across the school, drawing others to her. Hopefully, this “happiness” strategy can become a part of our emotional regulation and coping toolkit, as one more way to build tolerance and develop friendships, ultimately increasing our quality of life.
This kids yoga book can be added to your kindergarten learning activities, mindful moments, play therapy story time, calm down corner, collection of feelings books for preschoolers, as an anxiety relief tool, part of your brain breaks in the classroom, circle time, counseling sessions, social emotional learning activities, emotional regulation strategies, mommy me yoga, preschool yoga exercises, or kindergarten yoga breaks.
This beautifully illustrated children’s book about friendship, happiness, and self-esteem is aimed at four- to seven-year-olds (preschoolers, PreK, kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade). Parents and caregivers can also read this children’s yoga and wellness book at home during transition times, after school, or at bedtime.
Yoga and mindfulness books for kids are suitable for children of all abilities, including children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, anger management issues, or other additional needs. Anna and her Rainbow-Colored Yoga Mats also makes for a lovely gift if you are looking for something unique and educational, while incorporating literacy!
