Claire ★★★★★

The breathing exercises in this story actually helped my anxious daughter calm down before her first piano recital — we read it three times that week. The soft, snowy illustrations kept her engaged while she learned the relaxation techniques.

Alexander G. ★★★★★

My five-year-old was a bit wound up before bed, but the breathing exercise in this story actually helped him settle down and focus. The imagery of the boy and the bear on the snowy mountain is gentle and calming.
