Good Night, Body: Finding Calm from Head to Toe for Back-To-School Rest

"A soothing nighttime routine and an age-appropriate introduction to mindfulness." --Kirkus Reviews

Bedtime can be full of big emotions for kids! Calm anxious, busy thoughts with this body scan meditation designed to help kids relax and prepare for sleep. This mindfulness practice will help children let go of the worries, stress, and excitement of the day as they reach their arms like a telescope, let their mouths hang like a hammock, dance their fingers like wind chimes, and listen to their hearts beat a reassuring cadence, "you're loved, you're loved."

From Britney Winn Lee, author of popular books The Boy with Big, Big Feelings and The Girl with Big, Big Questions, comes another powerful book for helping children navigate stress, form positive self-perceptions, and strengthen their hearts and minds. Good Night, Body echoes the comforting chants of Goodnight Moon as it leads children in greeting, moving, and relaxing each body part. With lyrical text and body-positive illustrations, this mindfulness picture book guides kids in connecting with who they are inside and out.

Good Night, Body: Finding Calm from Head to Toe is perfect for

• children 4 to 8 and their parents and caregivers
• families who enjoy yoga and mindfulness exercises
• children who need a relaxing bedtime ritual to smooth the transition from play to sleep
• children who experience anxiety, insomnia, bedtime fears, and intense emotions
