Lessons from A Tree: Yoga poses for happy kids
Roll out a yoga mat and join main character, Adan (pronounced Ay-din) on a quest to discover why we celebrate trees! In Lessons From a A Tree, Adan learns about the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shvat (pronounced Tu Bi SHVAT), also called The Birthday of the Trees. In celebrating the values and gifts of trees, Adan also learns how we can apply these attributes to find peace and harmony in our bodies and in our minds. Just as Adan discovers the benefits of mindfulness and yoga poses in connection with Tu B’Shvat, readers of Lessons From A Tree are prompted to move their own bodies like trees, the animals that live there, and the products that come from them.

the promise of shabbat: yoga poses for happy kids
Sometimes, things don’t work out. Sometimes, things go wrong. This is a really hard concept and situation for young children who are still learning how to manage thoughts and regulate emotions. Readers of The Promise of Shabbat: Yoga Poses for Happy Kids are taken on a journey through a week in the life of the young narrator. When daily problems arise, readers are guided through self-regulation strategies (yoga poses and reframing thought) that help to restore peace and joy as Shabbat approaches. With the inclusion of multi-cultural characters demonstrating each pose, a guide for families on the benefits and technique of each pose, and lively and colorful illustrations, this is the perfect addition to every home or classroom library.
Publication Date: April 2022
