Reviews
★ “Mindfulness is not an easy concept to practice or teach at any age, but this book is a wonderfully accessible introduction to a challenging skill.” –School Library Journal
“A cute mindfulness primer that will especially appeal to dog lovers.” –Kirkus
“This entertaining book will enable children to better understand and control their emotions.” –Booklist
“Across the seasons and from wake-up to bedtime, a squat brown dog models a Zen mindset in this canine-centric call to just “be.” … Playful scenes show the pup and its apparent owner, a child portrayed with pink skin and dark hair, jumping in a puddle, frolicking in a pile of autumn leaves, making snow angels, and beyond, keep the mood light to align with Gianferrari’s mildly humorous text.” –Publisher’s Weekly
