Breathe In… book

Breathe in... By Sujean Rim, this is a beautiful and inspiring picture book about the power of conscious breathing, mindfulness and self-belief. In the story, you meet Bob, a bird who is very worried because he cannot fly. He is afraid of being left behind and is increasingly doubting himself. Fortunately, his friend Crow shows him that he doesn’t have to solve everything straight away and that sometimes it starts with something very simple: pausing for a moment and breathing mindfully.

In an accessible and loving way, this book introduces children to the importance of calm, mindfulness and connecting with oneself. The story encourages them to take a moment to reflect on feelings of insecurity, anxiety and worrying. Thanks to its lovely message and beautiful illustrations, Breathe in... Not only is it lovely to read aloud, but it’s also a lovely book to discuss together.

A special children’s book for children who sometimes need a bit of extra calm, reassurance or a moment of relaxation. The book also offers parents, carers and support staff a lovely starting point for talking together about feelings, mindfulness and conscious breathing.
