What a great book! This book gives a breathing technique for every letter of the alphabet. Each page has a new letter along with a description of the breathing technique and a picture to go along with it! As a grade 3 teacher I often need to help my students practice breathing techniques and I would love having a copy of this book on my desk or within reach to give them a variety of breathing techniques that are easy to remember. I can see so many uses for this book in my classroom. The pictures are really interesting but are not overwhelming, and the text is fairly easy to read and is a good, clear font. I would highly recommend this book to primary teachers or parents of children who struggle with anxiety or high emotions and need support to regulate their bodies and regain control. I so appreciate having the opportunity to read an advance ebook copy of this book and can't wait to head out a purchase a copy for my classroom library soon!

Christopher Willard and Daniel Rechtschaffen bring us an alphabetic invitation to mindfulness and breathing for littles. Holly Clifton-Brown's charming illustrations bring each letter to life. This title would work well for littles who need some one-on-one coaching, and great for read-aloud with accompanying modeling of these breaths. Highly recommended.
