Review of Kimberly David’s Book: The Mountain and Me
Aug 31, 2021 01:34PM ● By Sara Gurgen
The Mountain and Me, by Kimberly David, is a kid-friendly introduction to mindfulness that
helps children learn to manage their emotions.
Joy,
peacefulness, strength and calm are qualities that are hard to cultivate in
today's busy world. The Mountain and Me introduces mindfulness as a tool
to help children understand their emotions and find peace even when their
environment is unpredictable.
The story
provides children with tools to manage their emotions and encourages them to
set up a space at home to sit and breathe. As young children, they have an
opportunity to practice a routine that can help them navigate challenges
throughout their lives.
In addition to
the story, there are several resource pages included with activities to extend
the learning, such as an art activity and a breathing exercise. The whimsical
illustrations and repetition throughout the story encourage children to tune in
to the present moment and focus on their breath.
The motto of
the story is to remember that we can be strong, calm, patient and peaceful like
the Mountain.
