My Magic Breath: Finding Calm Through Mindful Breathing

From New York Times bestselling author Nick Ortner comes a beautiful picture book that will help children discover calm through the magic of mindful breathing:

Do YOU have the magic breath?

Let’s see…Take a deeeeeep breath in…and BLOW it out…

…and like magic, you can feel better just by breathing! Sometimes it’s hard to feel happy. But with this interactive picture book, children breathe along as they learn how to make angry or sad thoughts disappear.

In a world that is sometimes too busy, with too many things going on, My Magic Breath will help steer children into a serene space of mindfulness, self-awareness, and balance.

A wonderful classroom and naptime story, this book is perfect for fans of Susan Verde’s I Am Yoga and I Am Peace, Mariam Gates’s Good Night Yoga, and Deborah Underwood’s The Quiet Book.

Do you have the magic breath?

When you are worried, or nervous, or sad, take a deeeeeep, deep breath.

Now let it go.

Did that help you feel better? See? It’s magic!

In this vibrantly illustrated and meditative book, bestselling author Nick Ortner teams up with Alison Taylor and encourages children to tap into a space of mindfulness. Like doing yoga, listening to soothing music, or reading your favorite book, deep breathing has magical effects on your mood. My Magic Breath reminds everyone that peace is only a single blow away. 

“Polizzi’s airy watercolors nicely harmonize with the interactive aspect of the text, giving the book potential as either a resource for anxious readers or as a choice for group readalouds.” - Publishers Weekly
