AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Mindfulness - it's all about being happy. Listening and being still, feeling our feelings, relaxing, discovering, loving, appreciating, even breathing - when we do these things with mindfulness we can connect ourselves to the moment. A great way to feel happy. 

Nicola Edwards primer on the basics of mindfulness is great! Simple explanations with a application question for practice makes this a perfect introduction for a class or even a child. I can see reading this with a child who needs some centering, or calming - helping them appreciate and acknowledge what's happening now. I really liked the illustrations. The paper was natural, so the illustrations are soft. The pictures are expressive and fun.
