This is a remarkable children's book. It couples amazing colorful illustrations with a story that teaches an impactful breathing technique to help bring calm and address anxiety and depression. I work with special needs children (primarily autistic) who often experience anxiety when faced with the frustrations of their limitations. The breathing technique taught by this book can effectively bring relief by soothing a child experiencing such frustration and anxiety. This book should find a regular place in special needs school classes, and used by parents of special needs children. Actually any child or parent, special needs or not, should find this book to be both entertaining and a helpful learning experience.
