Very sweet story that helps parents teach kiddos mindfulness breathing in order to calm strong emotions. The idea is great and the soft illustrations are special. This is one to be read again and again. The only concern is with very little kiddos they may think they need to find 'a sparkly flower' in order to calm down. It would be better to clearly state the only thing necessary is the breathing which they have with them at all times. The book does include an instruction with diagram of butterfly on how to breathe with mindfulness which is very helpful.
Mindful breathing is an excellent practice for anyone. Why not get children started on this early? That's what this book does. And it does so with the air of colorful and engaging illustrations. I recommend this book for early readers and to be read to prereaders.
If you have a child that tends to get upset or anxious and you want a book that can help you teach your child to calm themselves and feel better without melting down, grab a copy of this book. It’s short and simple and easy to understand, but it also comes with some bonus materials that make it even better.
I liked the illustrations in this cute book because they are child-friendly. Calming breath can work like magic to help kids raise their vibration and transition to feeling better.
This book is more of a story then I thought it would be. But it's a good little story and it includes a breathing exercise at the end.
This was such a sweet and calming book. The illustrations were beautiful. It really broke down the importance of your emotions and how to slow down and feel them in a positive way. It was simple enough for my little girl to understand but also so impactful.
This book is an excellent tool for teaching kids about emotional regulation and self-soothing techniques in a fun and interactive way. The story of Izzy and her journey to regain her Sparkle is engaging and educational. The book effectively introduces the concept of mindfulness to children in a whimsical and relatable way—an excellent book for a bedtime story.
As a Pediatrician with Integrative Medicine training, I know of the value of mindfulness techniques. This book which was exquisitely crafted in terms of graphics, storyline and message is a must-have if you have kids. The techniques being taught will be useful for a lifetime.
This is a very interactive children's book. I love the way it is written, inviting readers to see and perceive the smell of flowers. I provides a beautiful story! 100% recommended!
