MX - APA Publishing Visiting Feelings
Book SynopsisGold Medal, 2013 Mom''s Choice Awards Silver Medal, 2014 Nautilus AwardsDo you have a feeling that''s visiting today? Can you open your door and invite it to play? Visiting Feelings harnesses a young child?s innate capacity to fully experience the present moment. Rather than labeling or defining specific emotions and feelings, Visiting Feelings invites children to sense, explore, and befriend any feeling with acceptance and equanimity. Children can explore their emotions with their senses and gain an understanding of how feelings can lodge in the body, as conveyed by common expressions like ?a pit in the stomach? or ?lump in the throat.? Children can cultivate this emotional intelligence and nurture a sense of mindfulness. In essence, mindfulness is tuning into yourself and paying attention to the present moment without judging or analyzing what you are thinking or feeling. Practicing mindfulness can enhance many aspects of a person?s well-being, help develop insight and empathy, and enhance resiliency. Taking the time to practice mindfulness as a family is a remarkable gift for parents to give to their children, and will help children as they navigate the teen years and adulthood. Includes a "Note to Parents? to provide more information about emotional awareness, and suggests ways to seamlessly incorporate mindfulness practices into your child and family''s daily routines. Trade ReviewGold Medal, 2013 Mom's Choice Awards Silver Medal, 2014 Nautilus Awards “Visiting Feelings presents an exquisite lesson in mindfulness and dealing with emotions by letting children know it’s OK to feel however they may and simply embrace the experience. The book stresses that feelings are neither bad nor good, they just are. Welcoming your feelings in, and actually making friends with them, is the best way to learn more about yourself and what your emotions are trying to teach you. The lesson is simple yet deep and playfully accessible for children and adults alike.”—AnxietyFreeChild.com “This lyrically illustrated beauty of a book is the doorway into accepting feelings that arise and accepting oneself for experiencing those feelings. From the first page through the last, a light-hearted, rhyming poem encourages the young reader to welcome and listen to feelings, as though they are visitors, inquiring into shape, color image,location in the body, and the origin of the feeling. In the author’s note to parents, she includes activities adults and children can do together to increase meaning and connection between them, along with breathing and self-awareness exercises. Written by a psychologist and yoga teacher, this book belongs on the shelf of everyone who serves children—parents, grandparents, therapists, aunts, uncles and teachers."—LifeForce Yoga “Through a poetic text, children are encouraged to identify and explore their emotions. Readers are asked to embrace their feelings, to treat them like friends…The full-page, digitally created illustrations feature hand-painted textures and overlays. They have a dreamy quality as the feelings swirl around the youngsters in soft pastel colors...The high-quality, appealing art will hold the attention of younger children…The book has a lot of potential for teaching students how to describe their reactions to different situations.”—School Library Journal “A beautifully illustrated children’s book; a soft poem that is a lullaby to children in preschool or primary grades that takes a “mindfulness-based” approach to the many feelings that children will experience. Visiting Feelings is one of those books you can cuddle up and read with a child on the couch or before bedtime. It opens the door to an adult talking to a child about the many feelings that are inside of us, and that even the painful ones are not bad. Feelings are simply feelings, and if we are aware of them and can talk about them, we won’t be frightened of them.”—NEA Vice President Lily Ekelsen Garcia "I wish every child could benefit from the wise and loving guidance offered in Visiting Feelings. This beautiful book offers our children (and their parents as well!) a mindfulness-based approach to navigating strong emotions that can directly strengthen resiliency, happiness and capacity to establish loving relationships with others."—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge: Finding Peace & Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart "Visiting Feelings is not just for children, as we all need this gentle reminder to love ourselves, our feelings, and accept and embrace who we really are."—Elephant Journal "This gorgeous book is a wonderful gift for the children in your life."—Little Flower Yoga

American Psychological Association A World of Pausabilities An Exercise in
Book SynopsisTold in rhyming verse and beautifully illustrated, A World of Pausabilities is an inviting introduction to mindfulness. Following a neighbourhood on a summer day, readers will learn how to apply mindfulness to simple, everyday moments, and how days are filled with endless possibilities to take a pause.Trade ReviewGold medal, Mom’s Choice AwardsSilver medal, 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards "Sileo invites readers to explore the potential in 'pausabilities'...he offers a wealth of ideas for how children and families can stay engaged in the present." —Publishers Weekly “Ideal for a yoga storytime or as a bedtime read to encourage children to pause, take a breath, and go to sleep with a sense of appreciation…elementary teachers could use this title as a warm-up read before starting the day’s activities, to provide a respite from work, or to stimulate concentration.” —School Library Journal "I really liked this book. I’ve learned a lot about “pausabilities.” When I get upset, I think of how I can take a pause and calm down."—Brian, Age 6, Kids' Book Buzz “A great resource for parents and teachers interested in teaching children about mindfulness.” —Mom’s Radius "This charming and delightful new book for children has beautiful illustrations and short poems that clearly and playfully express the essence of mindfulness. Best yet, it offers children simple guidance to incorporate and experiment with mindfulness in their lives." —Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education, UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, Author of Fully Present: The Science, Art and Practice of Mindfulness "Dr. Frank Sileo has written another incredibly beautiful and inspiring book for children. A World of Pausabilities cleverly and engagingly introduces kids to the concept of mindfulness, teaching them practical everyday skills to cope with the emotional ups and downs of life. This is a must-read for all children—and parents!" —Lawrence Rosen, MD, Integrative Pediatrician and Founder of The Whole Child Center "…with spontaneity and breathless delight, Dr. Sileo illustrates how children can use a pause to get to know and explore their own inner awareness. Especially impressive in Pausabilities is the absence of any kind of preaching or use of "shoulds." Pausabilities is an affirmation and an adventure…Bravo, Dr. Sileo!" —Diane Handlin, PhD, Founder and Executive Director of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Center of NJ "We live in a busy, hectic world. As adults we have become accustomed to the pace and often do not realize how wound up we have become. Our children's health, well-being, and happiness are suffering today due to the chaos of this pace. Remembering to pause, or even knowing what that means is so unfamiliar…until now. A World of Pausabilities cleverly introduces the possibility of what it means to stop, notice and enjoy the everyday wonder of living. As a parent, pediatric therapist and a yoga/mindfulness teacher, it is so helpful to have this extraordinary book as another tool to offer children (and adults) to easily understand and explore the practice of mindfulness. Each page offers a new idea of how to be mindful in our everyday life. The words are only complimented by each illustration which coveys feelings of peace and joy. What a great combination." —Allison Morgan MA, OTR, E-RYT, Director of Zensational Kids, LLC "There is nothing more restorative than pausing to go within in order to be fully present to our lives. To better connect with ourselves, others, and the world around, this beautifully illustrated book with its lively narrative invites children (and the adults who love them) to slow down, pause, and to become aware of their experiences in a kind-hearted and curious way. In a world that is increasingly fast, with distractions and stressors at an all-time high, our children need a way to create refuge within themselves in order to find a place of solace and to build resiliency. This book is their invitation." —Gael Belden, MA, Mindfulness and Compassion Educator with UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center "In our 'hurry up and do something' culture where children are often rushed and over-scheduled, they can easily lose touch with their natural ability to be fully present in the moment. Dr Frank Sileo has come up with the antidote. In his new book, he highlights the spontaneous moments of presence in children's lives, describing them as A World of Pausabilities. A beautifully illustrated and imagined work, he both encourages and validates the importance of such small and simple moments. He also includes an excellent beginner's guide in mindfulness in the back for teachers and parents. This book is a great first step toward getting the whole family more present and connected to their lives." —Carol Potter, seen as Cindy Walsh on Beverly Hills 90210, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, co-creator of Best Practice Parenting “Dr. Frank Sileo has crafted a wonderfully written introduction to mindfulness for both kids and adults, making this book perfect for bedtime reading as well as to help your child begin to learn about their minds, bodies and emotions… In a world of constant connectivity that screams for more, demands things faster and is constantly looking to the future or the past; this is a crucial message for all of us… This book is a must-have for all—especially for parents, caregivers, teachers and counselors.” —John Dennis, MA, LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor & Co-owner Parenting & Family Solutions"Sileo invites readers to explore the potential in 'pausabilities'...he offers a wealth of ideas for how children and families can stay engaged in the present." * Publishers Weekly *

Book Synopsis My name is Kiko. I''m a gradener. I grow happy.Let me show you how. Kiko is a gardener. She takes care of her garden with seeds, soil, water, and sunshine.

Crinkly, textured papers bring pleasing warmth to Lyles’s mixed-media collages, creating an atmosphere of positivity to match the girl’s confident attitude.”—Publishers Weekly “A charming and to-the-point book for addressing mindfulness with young children, perfect for classrooms and libraries.” —School Library Journal “Children are learning very early that the world is a tough place in which to grow up.

Rowman & Littlefield Spirituality in Young Adult Literature
Book SynopsisIn a time when almost any gritty topic can be featured in a young adult novel, there is one subject that is avoided by writers and publishers. Faith and belief in God seldom appear in traditional form in novels for teens. The lack of such ideas in mainstream adolescent literature can be interpreted by teens to mean that these matters are not important. Yet a significant part of growing up is struggling with issues of spirituality. The underlying problem, of course, is that there are so few writers who are willing to talk to teenagers about God, even indirectly, or who themselves have the religious literacy for the task.Spirituality in Young Adult Literature: The Last Taboo tackles a subject rarely portrayed in fiction aimed at teens. In this volume, Patty Campbell examines not only realistic fiction, but young adult literature that deals with mysticism, apocalyptical end times, and even YA novels that depict the Divine Encounter. Campbell maintains that fantasy works are inherently spiTrade ReviewAs YA specialist Campbell rightly asserts, spirituality is largely missing in the young adult literature published by the major U.S. houses. She also notes the inherent interest that teens have about spiritual matters, mentioning how fantasy often deals with issues of good versus evil. There are chapters sorted by organized religions, but Campbell realizes that spirituality is a larger concept. To that end, the book includes chapters that discuss books addressing death and the afterlife (but not zombies), end times and Apocalypse, mysticism, and the 'divine encounter.' The remaining chapters cover a selected list of contemporary YA literature published by mainstream publishers (as opposed to religious presses). The vast majority of YA literature covered is Christian (and Protestant). Surprisingly, Campbell found few Jewish YA novels that focused on spirituality, and she includes Holocaust literature as it reflects how religion helps sustain those victims. Similarly, Islam and Hindi YA novels tend to address the impact that those organized religions have on the daily life of teens, especially girls, more than on spiritual journeys. . . .YA author and member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chris Crowe provides the last chapter, which begins by explaining LDS spirituality and values and then discusses popular LDS authors, such as Stephenie Meyers and Orson Scott Card. He also discusses non-Mormon YA authors whose writing reflects Mormon values. The volume concludes with a bibliography of secular YA literature with spiritual themes published between 1967 and 2015, including YA novels with negative treatments of organized religion, short stories, and two poetry collections. There is also a detailed index. This volume offers some good issues to think about, and it highlights representative titles of major religions and some spiritual themes. Few such references exist, so this work is a good start. * Booklist *This is a well-researched guide that is practically the definitive guide on religion in modern young adult literature. The appendix lists all young adult novels from 1967 to 2015 that include issues of faith. This is a handy tool for librarians and teachers looking for novels that tackle religion, whether in a positive or negative light, and can help in collection development. * VOYA *Useful and enlightening. * The Horn Book Magazine *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: The Last Taboo Chapter I: Church and Clergy, Mostly Negative Chapter II: Bible Stories in Young Adult Books Chapter III: Death and the Afterlife Chapter IV: End Times and the Apocalypse Chapter V: Mysticism Chapter VI: The Divine Encounter Chapter VII: Other Faiths and Spiritual Practices: Judaism Chapter VIII: Other Faiths and Spiritual Practices: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and a Sikh or Two Chapter IX: Mormon Themes in YA Literature – by Chris Crowe Afterword Appendix: Godsearch Bibliography Index About the Authors
