Review: Meditation Is an Open Sky: Mindfulness for Kids by Whitney Stewart and Sally Rippin

/

So many kids go through so many emotions and have a hard time decompressing. For those of you who are open to meditation, this is a great introduction and lesson in meditation for kids that help them manage their emotions, stress and deal with obstacles that come their way. This is such an insightful book that explains different techniques to use in different situations whether emotionally or physically. The back of the book has a nice Q&A about meditation and what to do when you feel certain emotions. The illustrations were wonderful and complement the different states of emotions that will connect the reader to lesson. The author does a great job with articulating a peaceful, calming experience in the book that can be a useful tool in helping kids learn a tangible way to cope with life's challenges.
