New Kids Book, "Mai and the Meditation," Shows Kids How to Solve Issues Through Mindfulness
Author Greg Wachs uses his 14th kids book to help slow things down for kids.
Los Angeles, CA, November 05, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Today, Funky Dreamer Storytime, a boutique kids book publisher, released the kids book, "Mai and the Meditation," the 14th kids book by author and company founder, Greg Wachs.
In the story, Mai and Miel are BFF’s, and do almost everything together, but when Miel stops communicating altogether, Mai’s heart is broken. But when Mai’s two Moms suggest that she take a deep breath and listen to her heart, Mai slows down and takes a moment of silence. It’s in that space that she has sudden wave of empathy and realizes Miel must be going through something of her own.
And indeed it is revealed, Miel simply got a, “Horrible Haircut!” and was too embarrassed to see her friends, or to even leave the house.
The illustrations are created in watercolor by artist Tatiana Rusakova, while the meditation sequences mix original acrylic paintings by Wachs’s sister, Brinda Wachs.
Of the latest release, Wachs said, “I am very proud to bring the practice of mediation to kids around the world, and my hope is that they can experience a quiet moment in this very busy world.”
