5.0 out of 5 stars A picturebook encouraging young readers to "take a DEEEP breath in" to gain strength from their own courage and inner peace, July 5, 2005

This review is from: I Take a DEEEP Breath! (I Am a Lovable Me) (Hardcover)

The second book in the "I Am a Lovable ME!" self-empowerment series, I Take a DEEEP Breath is a picturebook encouraging young readers to "take a DEEEP breath in" to gain strength from their own courage and inner peace, then "breathe out" fear and doubt in order to confront new challenges. Simple rhyming verse and four-color illustrations of a friendly six-legged beetle learning to grow from new challenges every day offer an inspiring example of the power of breath when used to focus on positive thoughts and emotions. Highly recommended. "If my parents get angry with me / I take a deeep breath in and breathe out slowly. / I'm not sad anymore; I know they love / me for sure!"

This review is from: I Take a DEEEP Breath! (I Am a Lovable Me) (Hardcover)

After reading "I Am a Lovable Me," I was interested in additional books in this series. "I Take a Deep Breath" is the second title in this empowering series.

Sharon Penchina is a motivational speaker who realized the need to help children build a strong foundation of self-esteem at an early age. Dr. Stuart Hoffman is a Chiropractor specializing in children's care. Together, they have created a series of books and Audio CDs. There is also a plush toy - the Lovable Me Bug.

In this cheerful and affirmative book, children learn to breathe deeply and to control their emotions through conscious breathing techniques.

"If I feel sad and lonely,
I take a deep breath in and breathe out slowly....
This helps me feel calm and at ease,
safe and sound as I please."

On the first page there is a list of reasons why it is good to breathe more deeply. Then, throughout the pages, we find the Lovable Me bug relaxing with a book, wandering in a garden, playing with friends and cleaning house.

This book may also be useful to teach children how to calm themselves when they experience tantrums or anger spells.

I really enjoy reading this book to my daughter. She is 4 years old and she loves having it read to her. The book repeats the same message over and over as well as shows you when breathing deeply works best. I truley appreciate this book and I am so glad that I purchased it!
