The Elephant Who Tried To Tiptoe: Reminding Children To Love The Body They Have

I read it to my two year old grandson once and he kept asking for the Tip-toeing elephant book! I can't say enough praise for all the books I've bought so far. I just wish I had read them when I was young, but can still learn from them now!

I love the cute stories and the breathing exercises. My toddler looks forward to reading the stories at night! They set a relaxing mood perfect before bedtime.

Between the lessons and the breathing exercises, I feel like my daughter has really learned to cope with her emotions better

I love the lessons these book teach in a way that kids can understand them. Not only are these lessons for kids, but for the parents as well. We can all learn something from these. Definitely a nightly read.

Oh, what a lovely book. Andrew's magic is taking basic principles for a happy, loving life and sharing them in the simplest of words. This heartfelt book is perfect for young minds learning about life, and for older minds who might have gotten a little off track in life.

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.

We love this book. The story and the artwork both brings a smile and teaches a lesson; it accomplishes this for us and our son. For decades, there has been research on the importance of teaching emotional intelligence to children as early as possible. As new parents, we wondered how to do this and instill values such as openness, mindfulness, and acceptance (of yourself and of others). Andrew Newman's book series accomplishes this beautifully wrapped in delightful artwork and wonderful stories with a lesson. As a contrast, my wife and I were visiting my parents this past week, and pulled some children's books off the shelves that were read to me as a child. I was confounded by the absolute lack of purpose in nearly all of the stories. While the little books with the golden binding brought on feelings of nostalgia for me, they won't serve any purpose for our son (and future children). We have the opportunity to read to them the books from this series and learn important values early on in life.

This is the best gift you could buy yourself and your child. I have purchased everyone of Andrew's books and bought many as gifts for friends and family.

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.
