When You Go Into Nature

Booktalk: When you go into nature, just look around you. You’ll learn to move slowly and let go, to be flexible and soft while staying strong, and to revel in your uniqueness while working with those around you. This introduction to mindfulness and meditation outdoors encourages children to take cues from the creatures and sights around them, giving readers tools to manage worry and big feelings.
