I've been looking for something for my first-grade granddaughter, and I think this is it. It's just whimsical enough to appeal to her, and the instructions are very clearly written so that even someone without experience meditating could use it comfortably. I'm inclined to try some of the exercises myself, which are categorized by the kind of emotion you're feeling, despite my being well over the age for which it was written.

Man I wish I'd had a book like this when I was a kid. So, I suffer from an anxiety disorder and some dramatic mood swings, and I think I probably always have. As a kid I threw a lot of fits and let myself get extremely angry, sad, and down on myself. My parents suggested a whole bunch of coping techniques, but I didn't take to any of them.
