- Synopsis
- A wildly engaging and imaginative story that introduces the world of meditation to kids ages 6–10 through a relatable character named Leo, who learns to cultivate relaxation, mindfulness, and lovingkindness.Everyone in Leo&’s family meditates but him—his mom, his dad, his older sister, and even his stuffed bear, Teddy! But what does it mean to &“meditate,&” and is it something that Leo can do too? When Mom becomes his meditation teacher, Leo discovers that it&’s about more than just sitting still. After starting to get the hang of it, he&’s got to apply what he&’s learned off the cushion and out in the world when a bully targets him at school and steals his piece of apple pie.Through his experiences, Leo learns to meditate in the up times, the down times, and the in-between times. A graphic-novel illustration style gives Leo's story a fun and easy-to-follow narrative arc. It gives parents, guardians, and teachers an opportunity to playfully introduce children to meditation and even includes a step-by-step guided practice at the end to get their kids started.
