My Review

I had a lovely time reading this book. I wish I had had something like this when my oldest daughter was younger (she’s 7 now), and my son is still too young to really enjoy this (he’s almost 2). But I think that preschool age kids are the perfect age to love this book and benefit the most out of it. Combining yoga and stories is the way to go with kids, as I had mentioned in a former post about yoga and kids. As the story moves along, the book suggests different yoga poses to “live” the tale with movement along with the main character, Rachel. The drawings are beautiful and the tale simple and sweet: a walk in the garden to enjoy the morning sun. An absolute great way to get the little ones moving and familiar with yoga poses and practice. I was not aware of this books before, but now I know they are a series. I’m looking forward to getting more of these in print for when my son is a little older so we can practice together.
