The Star Catchers: Stories for You to Read to Your Child To Encourage Calm, Confidence, and Creativity

Meditation can benefit children enormously, from easing their anxieties to teaching them quietness. This anthology, a follow-up to the extremely successful Night Lights, features 20 illustrated narrative meditations that kids will enjoy—each with a set of positive affirmations for the child to dwell on. It's designed for parents to read aloud to children between the ages of 4 and 8, and the stories draw youngsters into adventures that fire their imaginations, focus their minds, boost their self-confidence, and build trust in the world around them. All the tales sensitively tackle common challenges facing small children, including coping with disappointment, making good decisions, dealing with fears, handling peer pressure, and banishing boredom. Most important, every meditation is both enjoyable as a fantasy and effective as a life tool.
