Review
Rachel wakes up to a beautiful day and decides to spend her time outside in the garden with her dog Sammy. When she goes out, Rachel finds many things to explore and finds different poses to see them in. I loved that this book combined movement through yoga poses, colors and nature to create a whole new reading experience for kids. This is a great way to introduce kids to yoga with easy poses that are associated with plants, animals and actions that they are familiar with such as trees, butterflies and squatting to plant. As you read the story, you are led through a simple yoga sequence. It is also appealing to kids who incorporate movement into learning, associating a yoga pose with a color of an object. The pictures are bright and whimsical. At the end there is a helpful guide for each pose and general yoga tips. This book was received for free in return for an honest review.Sneak Peek
