Mindful Me – Mindfulness and Meditation for Kids
Sometimes kids’ lives can get out of control and worries can take over. When that happens, knowing how to pause and regain composure with mindfulness can help! Mindful Me introduces kids to mindfulness as a way to find clarity, manage stress, handle difficult emotions, and navigate personal challenges. With step-by-step instructions to over thirty breathing, relaxation, and guided meditation exercises, readers will have an entire toolkit at their disposal.
In our first At Home with AW video, Lisa shares with viewers Mindful Me, a mindfulness and meditation book for kids by Whitney Stewart and pictures by Stacy Peterson! Learn about mindfulness and enjoy three activities you can do on your own that are available as a free download from Albert Whitman below.
As we socially distance ourselves and stay indoors, we’ll be sharing with you AW books and activities that teachers, parents, and readers can enjoy anywhere.

November 11, 2020 Statement
In life, in business, and especially in publishing, it’s true that you’re only as good as your word. Unfortunately, at Albert Whitman & Co., we struggled to communicate with some of our authors, and our employees, and for that I am deeply sorry.

Make a Splash with these Hot Reads | Summer Reads
Summer is for book lovers! For a few months, kids have fewer commitments, which means more time to read. During the day, they can soak up a story along with the sun, and at night, they can stay up late to finish one more chapter—with parental permission, of course.
