I've been working as an elementary school counselor since I obtained my Master's Degree in Education in 2005. Bibliotherapy has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I have witnessed the healing power of books in childrens' lives. When I first started as a counselor, I was saddled with old dusty curriculums and really freaky social skills books from the 70's and 80's. I've made it my mission to find contemporary books that help to address the many issues that children currently have to deal with. I handpick all of my books and will only post books that I actually use and that truly make a difference in a child's life. Currently, I am writing a bibliotherapy book on adoption that will be illustrated by my birth mother. My sincere hope is that you find the books I review in this blog to be as healing as I have found them to be and they assist you in helping the children in your life.
1. Book Review: Good Morning Yoga - a pose-by-pose wake up story


Author: Mariam Gates
Illustrator: Sarah Jane Hinder
Interest Level: Ages 4 and Up

From the Book Jacket: Calm and awake, "I can do this!" is all I need to say. A deep breath in, a long breath out - I am ready for the day! This "wake up" story is so much more than a story. It's a practice for kids and parents to greet the morning with joy and embark on their daily adventures with intention and confidence. Turn the page and reach up to the sky, press your feet into the earth, and get ready for a great day!





Why It's On My Bookshelf: We already own Good Night Yoga so we were happily surprised to see a new edition. My daughter learned twelve new poses and I love the continued emphasis on taking deep breaths. Our favorite thing about the book is the visualization story called 'How I Want to Feel Today.' I can see an absolute difference in behavior when we use these books. They are empowering, interactive, and teaches yoga in a fun way. It's been a wonderful way to get ready for our day.
