Thank You Breath

The breath I take to stay alive has hidden powers that help me thrive.
It supports me in all kinds of ways and brings me peace on many days.

We all have a superpower within us―the incredible ability to use our breath to energize us when we’re feeling tired, settle us down when we’re feeling overwhelmed, and help us focus when we get distracted. With a little awareness and practice, we can often change the way we feel simply by changing how we are breathing.

To help our kids harness this power, we have to do more than tell them to “take a deep breath.” In Thank You Breath, you’ll find these very tools so kids (and their grown-ups!) can learn how to use breathing to find peace and power, even when BIG emotions take over. Complete with how-tos, breathing meditations, and tips for caregivers, this sweet and compassionate book helps us all use our breath as a lifelong practice.

Jennifer Cohen Harper has done a beautiful job once again in making mindfulness accessible, practical and fun for young people and parents alike. Thank You Breath is now my “go to” gift for caregivers and teachers of young children.

Thank you Breath is an inviting and beautiful book that introduces children and their parents to the superpower of Breathing.

In her new book Thank You Breath, Jennifer Cohen Harper skillfully weaves profound lessons on emotion, perspective-taking, appreciation, and much more into her lovely yet powerful rhymes. It’s a welcome addition to your mindfulness library!
