(The Art of Mindfulness). Jump! / Blue Owl . Jan. 2022. Tr $26.99. Gr 23 Moving beyond deep breaths and yoga mats, these titles incorporate mindfulness practices into common middle grade activities like dancing and crafting. It is a clever expansion that builds on a secular understanding of mindfulness and its uses in daily activities to boost mental health. Readers are encouraged to explore the way they think about daily activities in a deeper way, using specific applications tied to the titular activities. A range of real photographs of children in these books model the ideas present throughout. VERDICT These titles make a good addition to public libraries looking to expand their current mindfulness collections to include concrete applications for exploring readers.
In this book, early fluent readers will learn how cooking can help us focus, relieve stress, and increase mindfulness. Step-by-step instructions help readers meal prep and execute a fun, healthy recipe they can be proud of. Social and emotional learning (SEL) concepts support growth mindset throughout, while Try This! and Grow with Goals activities at the end of the book further reinforce the content. Fun, full-color photos and carefully leveled text engage young readers as they learn more about increasing focus and practicing mindfulness through art and creativity. Includes helpful hints, sidebars, a table of contents, glossary, index, and tips for educators and caregivers.
Mindful Cooking is part of Jump!'s The Art of Mindfulness series.
