And She Said Breathe

by Dr. Kristen Race & Kathy Marvel

Breathe in. Breathe out.

We use our breath all day, every day. Imagine if, as a small child, you were taught different breathing strategies to help you proceed through your days — strategies to have by your side to get you thriving through the toughest of times!

And She Said Breathe is a picture book taking the reader through a day in the life of a six year old girl — Sophie. Over the course of Sophie’s day, she is faced with many challenges and to each one, she responds with a different type of breathing. Each breathing technique impacts her brain and body in different ways and elicits unique and beneficial responses.

In addition to the story, readers can access a free downloadable guide which explains to parents, teachers and adults, the neurological benefits of the practices and how to further incorporate these techniques into children’s lives.

Drawing on the latest research, she shows how mindfulness helps us – and our children – feel happier, healthier, calmer, less anxious, less stressed, and more focused.
