PreS-K–Children will enjoy this gentle meditation disguised as an interactive book. Readers are introduced to Chaos, “a busy, mess, loud Thing.” and are encouraged to help him unwind. Each spread includes instructions for tracing a finger through ups, downs, and loops. By the end of the book, children and caregivers alike will feel calm and relaxed.

VERDICT For the younger end of the SEL shelves, this is a great choice for libraries looking to add to their mindfulness collection.
