Be Present, You're a Present

Illustrated by Annie Wilkinson

A Mindfulness Book
Let your feelings be alive
Every small amount of time is a treasure, you're a treasure
With complete illustrations and designs by Annie Wilkinson, this book describes many themes of mindfulness for kids. We explore the ideas of play, friendship, responsibility, forgiveness, laughter, saying goodbye, sharing space, asking for time, asking questions, being in touch with nature, making art, thinking for yourself, and caring for others.

"If you are present, if you start from your heart, if you notice your feelings, if you name your feelings and talk about them, then, my love, you're being mindful"
"When you're mindful, you ask yourself a lot of calm questions, you're curious about your thoughts and feelings, How do I feel? What do I think about myself? Am I honest with myself? What do I really want? I want faith in myself and I want hope in myself"
