We have a lovely little giveaway to start the year off for you on KiddyCharts. As you know, we are great advocates for mindfulness in children, and have our own Mindful Colouring Book for Adults and Kids available on Amazon, as well as on Gumroad as an eBook. So we are delighted to be partnering with Trigger Publishing to offer this gorgeous Breathe Like A Bear mindfulness for kids book in our first giveaway of 2020.
This book will help kids to be more mindful as we enter 2020.
Breathe Like A Bear is a friendly introduction to mindfulness and meditation for children aged 4 – 8. With 30 mindful moments to help find calm and focus – at home, in the classroom, alone or with others – Breathe Like A Bear teaches children how to manage their bodies, breaths and emotions through fun, relatable activities and exercises.
Whether….
- Visualising the sound of raindrops in a storm
- Buzzing and wriggling around like a bumblebee
- Waking up your face with expressive exercises
- Getting your “grumpies” out
- Stretching like a cat, or
- Sending out good thoughts, and finally
- Breathing like a bear
…this book teaches balance and calm, and life-long skills such as how to deal with anxiety, how to be more focused and how to find quiet in any situation.
Mindfulness – learning to be in the present moment – is a vital skill to learn at a young age.
Breathe Like A Bear promotes positive mindful habits and provides the tools to practise mindfulness, meaning children are better equipped to manage difficult emotional situations and their mental health. It is a long-term investment in their mental well-being. And the particular focus on conscious breathing provides a simple and accessible way of achieving calm anytime, anywhere.
Written by Kira Willey, the award-winning children’s music artist, kids’ yoga expert and creator of Rockin’ Yoga school programmes, and with beautiful illustrations by Anni Betts,
Breathe Like A Bear is the perfect first step for children to find peace in their daily lives.
Breathe Like A Bear by Kira Willey and illustrated by Anni Betts will be published by Ups!de Down books on the 9th January at RRP £9.99 (Available on Amazon UK – affiliate link)

I'd like to win this book so I could give it to my niece who teaches first year primary school children in London. It would be a very useful tool for her to help teach the children techniques to improve their mental wellbeing whilst having fun.
