"Helpful, accessible and appealing guide to mindfulness for children "
A cheery little chap called Chester Chestnut is our guide through this introduction to mindfulness for children. In his baggy dungarees, he’s an identifiable figure and children will understand his worries: what if he can’t make friends at school, or forgets the words in the school play, or can’t stop thinking about all that could go wrong on an outing. Fortunately, he knows what to do and, by the end of the book, so will readers. The story shows Chester using mindfulness, describing the steps so clearly and simply that even the youngest will understand what to do and why.
A final page lists things to remember. If you’re wondering about the title, imagine eating a lemon – a brilliant demonstration of the power of the mind.
If you are parent or carer to a worrier, Ruby’s Worry by Tom Percival is recommended too.
