Sometimes we don't like what's happening and we might experience negative thoughts and big feelings. When we know how to be present and accept thoughts and feelings, they don't have to control us.

This mindfulness book can teach children and adults a life long wellness skill that can cultivate resilience, gratitude, compassion, contentment, love and peace.
