My son loved it

My son struggles with interacting when things get loud. Having 4 other siblings…well, you get it. Things get LOUD! He’s definitely a Sensory AVOIDER! This book helped him to see that it’s OK to find a quiet place to just be alone and take time for yourself. 100% recommend!

These books are gifts beyond price…

The boy who searched for silence is so good for children with autism. My grandson requests it a lot. Last night he told me that he knows how to find silence. He said he does snuggle breathing. Thank you!

Fab book to highlight mindful silence

Fab story of how a boy found silence within himself. Liked how it mentions the noisy distractions continue around him, but wished he'd been distracted by one of them & had to intentionally regain the silence, just to normalise it not being there no matter what, after finding it.

Inspiring thoughtfulness . . .

This is the 5th in the "Conscious Stories" series that I've purchased for my friend's 5 year-old son. My friend tells me that they spend time together reading them and he loves all of them. She also says they seem to inspire her son to be thoughtful about the core messages, which leads the two of them into interesting conversations.

Meaningful mindfulness practices with kids..and parents and teachers too!

As a former classroom teacher, I appreciate texts that offer opportunities to kinesthetically involve the audience. The content integrates the mind, body, and spirit seamlessly into a step-by-step mindfulness practice, where kiddos can begin to form healthy habits. Andrew Newman's expertise in healing is translated into actionable, reflection activities, with a great reading guide in the back for easy use. We will be reading more of the whole series!

The Snuggle Breath is a wonderful way to start storytime

The Snuggle Breath is a wonderful way to start storytime. It teaches a calm present mindset and introduces children to meditation and mindfulness. Teach your child the gift of finding peace within their own selves with this book.

Brilliant and inspired collection

The beautifully illustrated titles that comprise the Conscious Stories represent an inspired collection of deeply thoughtful and soulful story-lines that promote awareness of our unique gifts, as well as our shared humanity. Andrew's Conscious Bedtime Story Club, a novel initiative that promotes intentional parenting, parent-child connection, stress-reduction, and mindfulness through literacy, is imbued with the accumulated wisdom of a life dedicated to nurturing and healing the world. As a parent, fellow author/publisher, and community health educator, I sincerely appreciate Andrew's books for the heart they embody and the humanity they promote.

Helping children feel content in a busy, noisy world

Having a son who is noise sensitive, this book truly pulled at my heart strings. Being overwhelmed by constant noise and stimulation, yet learning to connect to the inner feeling of contentment despite it all, is what every child (and parent) needs in our modern crazy world. Beautifully illustrated, well paced, gentle yet poignant - this book is worthy of a place in every child's room.

Amazing Book for All Families!

Andrew Newman's books are amazing for parents and kids alike. My kids request them every night, love the stories and always ask to get more of his books! The Snuggle Breath in the beginning of each book is very grounding to me, and sets a calm, connected tone to story time at the end of each day. I was lucky enough to meet Andrew at the Evolve conference in 2016 and he autographed the three books we have and my boys love reading his personal note to them each night :o) I highly recommend his books for all families! They are truly special.
