I have reviewed a few picture books about anxiety now, but I think this is the first specifically on mindfulness. What's In Your Mind Today encourages children to take a pause and focus on their breathing, allowing their minds to settle and their worries to drift away while they count slowly to ten.
It's gentle and soothing, and includes some great descriptions of the different ways worrying can make us feel: like wriggling worms, bubbles or stomping monsters. I would definitely recommend this story to children who often feel anxious and I think it would work well in a classroom too.
Thank you Little Steps Publishing for sending us a copy of this story to review.
What's In Your Mind Today is written by Louise Bladen and illustrated by Angela Perrini.
