My son loves to be read to, and will hopefully be a big reader like his mom. He likes pretty much anything, from the classics, to comic books, to “cute” books, and more. I’m glad he likes diversity in reading, hopefully it means he’s open minded. One of the latest books we have read is “Peace, Bugs and Understanding,” the newest children’s book by Gail Silver in her illustrated series beginning with Anh’s Anger.
This books is about finding peace instead of anger, and encourages children to look inward and be calm when they feel anger. It deals with meditation on a child’s level- which I think is pretty cool, and timely for us since my son is about to start kids classes next month. We both do yoga already, and I meditate, and feel this would be good for him as well. Like his mother, he has some tendencies that this could help. (Don’t we all, right?) Maybe starting younger would be helpful.
This is a cute book, easy to follow, with relatable characters and problems. We are going to find the first two books of the series as well so that we can read them all.
