Reviews
"Mindfulness is so important for kids in this day and age, many of whom are being raised in a world of instant gratification, abundance of everything, and constant stimulation coming from screens. Marvin and Grandpa's mindfulness journey is a well-told example of how to exist in the moment, observe your surroundings, and stay calm instead of just looking for the next distraction...Like many of Magination Press's books, King Calm is a fantastic primer for emotional health, written by people who know whereof they speak, and told in an accessible way for children."--Portland Book Review
"King Calm is a wonderful gateway for teaching mindfulness to children. The narrative manages to give explicit instructions on being mindful without being pedantic or dull."--Seattle Book Review
"Expressly recommended, especially for family, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children."--Midwest Book Review
"This lively and edifying children's book...makes a good case for mindfulness as a spiritual practice that brings alive our senses of tasting, seeing, feeling, smelling, and listening...Highly recommended!"--Spirituality & Practice
"I am pleased to see the growing number of books that encourage kids to slow down, pay attention to whatever they are doing in the moment, and notice the beautiful world around them. It is good to introduce mindfulness practice to children. Start at a young age, when they are open and eager to explore everything they see, smell, taste, touch, and hear."--Children's Books Heal
