The Present is a Gift is a children's picture book that takes us on a journey to achieve mindfulness. Readers are transported from a classroom out into nature to observe animals in yoga poses and practicing mindfulness. Children will enjoy the illustrations and learn to live in the moment, reduce stress and build confidence.

Review

“The Present is a Gift” is a good book that can help you learn about mindfulness. In the book, you meet eight animals who each teach you a lesson, and you can use the lessons learned in the book to help you stay positive

Before reading this book, I’ve never even heard of mindfulness. This book really showed me how important it is to be aware of the world and the simple but important things that life has to offer.

I know sometimes people can be so into their cell phones and tablets that they can get distracted from the simple stuff that life has to offer. This book reminds you how doing something as simple as stopping to take a deep breath can really help you to feel better.

I would recommend this book to other kids and families. This book can really help make it easy for kids to talk to their families about how they feel about themselves, and can help them see the value of the important but simple things that life has to offer. I would like to read more books from this author.
