Here are my top 12 picks of mindfulness books and social-emotional learning books 📚 for children.

It’s no secret I love children’s yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ 

and mindfulness books 📚 

After all I wrote my own book 📖 Lucinda’s Magical 🪄 Yoga Adventure because I wanted to share the wonder & whimsy of yoga with children everywhere! 

I’m such an advocate for mindfulness and SEL books for children that I became a book 📖 doula and coach and have helped 14 authors (and counting) to write, edit self publish and market their beautiful books 📚 

But I’ve been using, book,  particularly those with an emphasis on feelings and mindfulness, for over 24 years in my children’s yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ classes.

AND I use them on the daily with my 6 year-old daughter Cadenze who is a little mindful📖 Bookworm 🐛 too!

📚Books teach kids important life skills, values and ways to support social-emotional learning. 

📚Books are a gateway to a world of learning about challenging situations and feelings which is so needed in this complex with we are living in. 

📚Books are a way to support kids who are struggling emotionally and promote mental health.
