[Book Review] Yogi Superhero, [Author] Anna Smithers




The first book in the Yogi Superhero Series written by the talented Anna Smithers. As the mother of a little girl, I am always on the lookout for inspiring books. Yogi Superhero seems to fit the description to perfection, as a book which helps children discover the benefits of yoga, mindfulness and emotion management.


My thoughts:


With beautiful illustrations and kind words, the author introduces children to yoga as a way to calm a busy mind and manage negative emotions in a healthy manner. I think that the book delivers a brilliant perspective on life, helping children understand they hold the power of making positive changes.


Any kid can become a yoga superstar and tame the hidden monsters, as the author cleverly puts it. The story is delivered by Anna Smithers, who is also a yoga instructor. Throughout the book, you can feel the love she bears for children, and how she poured her heart and soul into the story.


What did I like about the book?


· The idea – what an inspiring way to introduce kids to concepts that would have been otherwise hard to understand, and here I’m talking about self-soothing, positive thinking, and mindfulness.


· Kind of story that kids can learn from, time and time again – they can return to the book when feeling stressed or anxious, using it to unwind or calm down.


· Beneficial physical activity – book is filled with easy-to-follow poses, teaching kids how to rely on yoga to increase their strength, flexibility, and coordination. I love books of this kind, as I feel we are gaining something extra besides the actual reading experience.


· Stunning illustrations – I feel that inspiring stories need beautiful illustrations to bring them to life and I am thankful for the talent of wonderful illustrators like the one who has contributed to this book.


Verdict:


Young children are easily overwhelmed by emotions and I believe that books like Yogi Superhero can be really useful when it comes to developing their emotional health. The perfect introduction to the wonderful world of yoga.
