Abstract
Teach children the basics of mindful breathing - along with their ABCs - in this playful and interactive picture book.
In Alphabreaths Too, children learn their ABCs along with the basics of mindfulness through fun exercises and illustrations they?ll want to come back to again and again. Each letter of the alphabet teaches a simple mindfulness, or compassion-based, practice to help kids focus their thoughts, feel calm, express gratitude, and hold positive feelings for others. A great standalone title or a companion volume to Alphabreaths: The ABCs of Mindful Breathing, this is a perfect book for the classroom or home library.
Breaths like Astronaut Breath and Fireworks Breath help children use their imaginations, while breaths like Gift Breath and Kite Breath help them fill their hearts with gratitude and send good wishes to others. They can breathe with a partner using Drawbridge Breath, relax with Ocean Breath, or get their wiggles out using Pirate Breath.
Alphabreaths Too offers a meaningful introduction to mindfulness for children, all while keeping them delighted with imaginative inspiration and hours of fun. It?s as easy as A-B-C!
Recommended for children ages 4 - 8.

Trauma pervades every aspect of our lives, particularly in recent years between climate change, social justice issues, the coronavirus pandemic, and more. But the truth is that post-traumatic growth, rather than post-traumatic stress, is not only possible but probable. In this book, you'll discover the conditions and compassionate practices that make growth and resilience possible, including:
- How to regulate your nervous system by regulating your breath and body
-Trauma-informed self-compassion practices that make you more resilient to the world around you
-Skills to set boundaries to aid in your healing
-Dozens of other ways to turn your difficult experiences toward growth
Simple and to the point, each chapter offers practices, self-assessments, enlightening science facts, and advice for the real world. Perfect for reading a page or two after an exhausting day or sharing with others when they need a lift.
No one gets a pass from life's challenges. The good news is, we are hardwired to turn them into a source of strength. Turn to this book anytime you need to find out How We Grow Through What We Go Through.
