Mai and the Meditation

Mai and Miel are BFF's and have sooooo much fun together! Until the day Miel stops responding and Mai's heart is broken! Is Miel done with the friendship, or is there something else going on? Sometimes the answer comes from being very still, and quiet, breathing deep, and finding that inner voice.

In Mai and the Meditation, kids can learn a few tips on how to engage in meditation:

- Take a deep breath

- Clear your mind

- Relax all your muscles

- Let all thoughts go, like clouds floating across the sky

And when Mai spends a few minutes breathing deep and relaxing, it's gives her
a new perspective.

REVIEW
Mai and the Meditation
Review by Jimi Yamagishi

"Children's books often carry a much more powerful message for adults because they are eloquent in their simplicity.
With a great team of illustrators, Greg Wachs has assembled a beautiful story with brilliant colors & pictures depicting multicultural relationships in a natural way, much as children see the world. The simple and basic meditation guidelines, much like "Count to ten before you get upset," is truly a reminder that the world is not "Alll about me," and by reaching out just a little bit, understanding & compassion can heal many wounds.
More than just recommending this book to pass along to kids, it's a great gift at any age to remind us to breathe deeply, relax, and let go for a moment, to see the world in a clearer perspective.

WATERCOLOR SCENES MIXED WITH ACRYLIC PAINTINGS
In his 15th kids book, Greg Wachs worked with Tatiana Rusakova on the core watercolor scenes, yet for the meditation sequence, incorporated original acrylic abstract colorful paintings by his sister, Brinda Wachs.
These amazing images make the meditation a unique journey with each step of the meditation matched with an amazing dreamy counterpart painting, adding imagery to each deep breath.
