Your Mind is Like the Sky (A First Book of Mindfulness)<\/h2>\n

Your mind is like the sky. Sometimes it’s clear and blue\u2014but sometimes a raincloud thought comes along and makes everything seem dark. So, what can we do about rainclouds?<\/b><\/p>\n

This beautiful picture book, written by\u00a0psychologist Bronwen Ballard\u00a0and illustrated by\u00a0award-winning artist Laura Carlin, shows children that worries and negative thoughts are normal and helps them\u00a0develop healthy thinking habits.<\/p>\n

A story told in pictures is captioned with\u00a0helpful, poetic ways of thinking happily, in a style that is both\u00a0instantly accessible and backed by real expertise. Laura Carlin\u2019s deceptively simple illustrations put abstract concepts into\u00a0colorful, calming visual terms, showing how we can choose to think about how we think.<\/p>\n

Tips on\u00a0mindfulness\u00a0and extra resources for parents are included at the back of the book. This is the\u00a0perfect book to read aloud with children or grandchildren, encouraging talking about feelings and\u00a0taking action to live happily.<\/p>\n
