My Daycare Children Love them ALL
If you haven’t already ordered, I recommend starting with The Hug Who Got Stuck. This was the book that lead to my 10 book purchase! These books are amazing! They keep the children intrigued and excited. They look forward to the end of each book to do the exercises and they really loved getting a sticker too! I have recommended these books to all of the providers I work with (I’m a licensed in-home provider for military children). These books are great for all children and even adults!

My 4 year old is obsessed 🙌
So glad to have found this series of books for my little one. These books echo how we feel about the world. This one tells the story of what it means to be human-we are born with a bright light that slowly dims as the heavy clouds of everyday life in our society begin to cocoon around us. After trying all the "mainstream" things to bring his light back, they finally realize a holistic approach is needed. What a fantastic way to teach children that we are more than our body parts-we are bright, brilliant, complex beings who need nurturing and support to thrive. Seriously, my son sleeps with this book now and clearly identifies with the character. I almost want to give away all his mainstream books now and just start building a Conscious Stories library for him. In this age of information overload, selecting the right media for my kids is so important. If you are a crunchy mama, spiritual in any way, if you honor your child's individual soul journey, or are just striving to teach your kids wakefulness, these are such a blessing.🧡🧡🧡
p.s there is a great little bonus breathing exercise at the beginning of each book that we have been doing throughout the day that really calms and centers my son. He has some ADHD behaviors so this is huge for him. he's even been trying to meditate on his own🧘♂️
