Breath by Breath - by Stephanie Wildman (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In this bedtime story, twins Flor and Roberto wonder how they can possibly go on an adventure at the same time as they go to sleep. Big brother Luis guides them in an exercise through their bodies, from the top of their heads to the tips of their toes. Following the gentle inhale and exhale of their breath, Flor and Roberto find love and calm inside and all around them as they drift off to sleep. Bonus content provides direction for mapping your own body scan.

Review Quotes

"This is a sweet bedtime read...This is great to read with kids to help them learn breathing techniques to help them relax after a crazy day of endless energy. It's another great addition to this series." -reviewed by Julie S. from Chapter Break Book Blog

"This introduction to the wonders of an ancient yoga practice makes each moment simple and magical. The deep contentment brought about by Luis' words of care and wisdom ensures that there will be other journeys just as wondrous as this one. Much like the satisfaction of re-reading fables and fairy tales, each body scan will feel brand new and familiar. One reason this story will enchant children and parents is that, besides having expert knowledge, the author creates an atmosphere of fun that is reflected in Estefania Razo's colorful pictures. A guide enables adults to help children find their inner selves and makes Breath by Breath much more than a sparkling narrative. It becomes a means of helping every young reader begin to consider what 'being' means. Taking the time to understand what makes them special result in a priceless find for any child." -Reviewed by Constance Stadler for Readers' Favorite
