Marleigh is Mindful: A kid-tested guide to mindfulness and big emotions Linda Ryden

Marleigh is Mindful is a fun guide for kids about how to use mindfulness to take care of big emotions. Through every day vignettes that all kids will recognize, Marleigh and her friends share the mindfulness practices that help them when they feel worried, mad, distracted, sad, really excited, lonely, happy, and concerned for the world around them. In relatable language, Marleigh and her friends teach the reader how they can use these practices too. Warm and engaging illustrations and practical guidance make this book a must have for helping kids navigate life's challenges from disagreement with a sibling to concern for a stranger's well-being.
