Each page is a new meditation for you to read aloud to your child. "Sunshine", "Magic Tree" and "Robot" are some of the meditations. Each one has an illustration of a child enjoying the meditation. This would be fine to use in a classroom at nap time. The author runs a theater business and conducts workshops for kids about relaxation.

The stories paint magical pictures in the child's head and introduce relaxation techniques (such as relaxing parts of your body, and taking deep breaths) as part of the story. Perfect for bedtime stories.
