- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This alphabet picture book helps children learn about calming themselves with mindful breathing by using creative techniques from A to Z. For instance, B is for a butterfly breath in which you gently move your arms like wings during in and out breaths while J is for a joint breath done in unison with a friend or family member. Just reading this book is soothing, but actually stopping to do the breaths as described, with slow in and out breaths while making a wish or thinking of someone for whom you are grateful, is a gift in itself. This is definitely good for sharing as a lapsit read or even asking your child (or students) to do one breath a day together until you get through the whole alphabet. I'm not sure that it would work as well for a group readaloud (e.g., storytime), but it might work depending on the audience.
