Hands to Heart: Breathe and Bend with Animal Friends, written by Alex Bauermeister, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This is the perfect book for young children during this historic period of time. Everyone, even children, need suggestions on how to relax. The author of the book is also a yoga therapist for children. She describes moods and yoga moves in rhyming text and they will be easily understood by children. The illustrations by Flora Waycott are also perfect for the story. As the animals illustrate the yoga moves, and what a great way to show the moves, the text describes what to do. The author is recommending the yoga moves "Whether your mood is soaring high or low" and "Whether your breath is flowing fast or slow." Young children will not only enjoy the book and the illustrations but may benefit from these relaxing, stretching, yoga positions! 

Straight Talk for Librarians: A good book for not only talking about yoga but how to relax during stressful times.
