Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-This colorful, craft-inspired book guides youngsters through different ways to cope with stress, practice mindfulness, and document their memories through a variety of mediums. Bold, full-color pages suggest ways for readers to connect with their thoughts and feelings through journaling, mind-mapping, growing plants, practicing yoga, and other coping mechanisms. Elephants located throughout the text offer words of encouragement and inspiration. The text is written in a combination of cursive-style script, which may be inaccessible for some of the intended audience, and regular sans serif font. The people depicted are of different and of diverse abilities, and the mixed media of collage, painting, photography, and electronic illustrations skillfully depict the various suggested activities. Activities are described in an accessible way that suggests ordinary items readers can use, with a tone that is unfailingly upbeat. VERDICT A cheerful title that explores ways to practice mindfulness through encouraging, enjoyable content, this belongs in many collections.-Ellen Conlinα(c) Copyright 2011.
