Take a Deep Breath

Book Review: Take a Deep Breath
By Sue Graves
Illustrated by Desideria Guicciardini





















How many times did you mom/dad/spouse say to you, "take a deep breath"? I know in my life, there has been no shortage of these sentiments. And it is a great little piece of advice - when you're overwhelmed, take a deep breath and relax.

In "Take a Deep Breath," the author uses real life scenarios to examine when and where children can use deep breaths to help them move through a scary/stressful/hurtful situation. Cute illustrations show characters moving through real life using mindfulness techniques. In life, things don't always go our way and using mindfulness can help teach children how to handle uncomfortable situations, which is what this book strives to do. At the end of the story, a teacher shows her students that even adults needs to take deep breaths sometimes. Mindfulness is a tool best used by everyone!
