A wonderful introduction to mindfulness with beautiful images to bring even the youngest readers into the present.

Great picture book that features multicultural characters and being present in the moment; would work well in yoga/meditative storytimes

Here and Now is a very calming book about mindfulness, and the pictures are lovely.

I loved this soothing book with its lyrical text and vibrant illustrations. This would make a wonderful bedtime story and would be very well placed in a preschool or religious education setting (it's not a religion-specific book, but the messages of calm and connection would be well suited to that context).

Reading this gives me a similar feeling to reading the Tao Te Ching. Clear, good, whole, loved, loving, centered, and like the world is actually a good place.

This is a lovely reminder to be present in the here and now, but I'm not sure who the best age range is. It might be difficult for a very young child to conceptualize mindfulness, but I'm sure with some guidance, there are some beautiful learning opportunities to be had.
