Meditation Is an Open Sky: Mindfulness for Kids

---

Meditation Is an Open Sky: Mindfulness for Kids offers a gentle, accessible introduction to mindfulness and meditation for young children. Through nine simple, guided exercises—such as “Mind Drawing,” “Protection Circle,” “Special Place,” “Friendship Meditation,” “Mind Clearing,” “Wise Friend,” “Bursting Emotion,” and “Big Sky Mind”—it helps kids learn how to manage stress, strong feelings, fear, and frustration. The tone is calm and encouraging, with soothing illustrations featuring an elephant (and sometimes a monkey) that show how thoughts and feelings can be noticed and let go, like soap bubbles drifting away. There’s a section at the end answering common questions children might have about meditation (e.g., what to do if you feel wiggly, bored, or anxious), making this book both comforting and practical as a mindfulness tool for families, classrooms, or anyone working with children.
