Veggie Village comes alive! Why is Tomato so restless and edgy during her airport visit?  Find out what happens when Pita tries to be a perfectionist! Can you imagine how horrified Hummus becomes when he loses his work on his computer? Mindful Meatball is a compilation of eight encounters featuring Meatball as the central character. 

 

When Meatball meets Saucy Spaghetti for the first time he realizes that he has only been living life on the surface, and his life changes!  As his awareness of himself, others, and the environment increases, he becomes more and more Mindful and is able to help others in Veggie Village to navigate their emotions and empower themselves. In this book you will meet Meatball and some of his neighbours, including Terrified Tomato, Crying Cucumber et al!

 

This book will delight children and parents alike and is a first in the Adult/Children's category!  Integrating Social Emotional Learning with basic literacy skills also makes Mindful Meatball a perfect introductory tool for classroom 'mindfulness' discussions.  Written by a classroom teacher and illustrated by her daughter, this book is sure to engage you and the younger members of your family on different levels!   Its underlying messages of self-awareness, emotional regulation and personal empowerment are what make this book so unique!
