Moonbeam: A Book of Meditations for Children

by Maureen Garth

Maureen Garth′s popular meditations for children were born out of the author′s desire to help her three-year-old daughter sleep soundly. Developing ′the gentle art of going within′, her delightful stories helped her child - and many others around the world - to feel secure and to sleep peacefully. In Moonbeam, Garth invites her readers to accompany her on journeys into an imaginative world of animals, people and places. She shows parents how to use these imaginings with their children, helping them deal with their anxieties, develop their concentration and enhance their creativity.

My little boy Oliver loves our special quiet time together when I read these to him. We snuggle up & he gets into the "zone" using his beautiful little imagination. So calming & relaxing - for me as well I might add ! : ) x

I was read these beautiful short stories as a child and recall them sending me off to a peaceful and magical sleep each time. Heartwarming, well written and of course well read to me by my mother, the stories are enchanting and rich. Highly recommended for children, will read this to mine when I have them some day!

I used to read these meditations to my daughter when she was young and she loved them. They were particularly wonderful during times of anxiety. I highly recommend it as a bed time read with little ones.

I loved hearing my mom read me these stories every night as a child.
