What was your favorite Christmas memory?

       The best way for me to answer this question is to highlight the text and image that is contained on the cover flap of my first book. On the flap, I call out all the wonderful memories I have of Christmas, and also reference that millions and millions of others share similar memories of Christmas. That’s what Oliver the Ornament celebrates; everyone’s own individual memories of cherished Christmas memories.
        The magic of Christmas has come to life for me every year in this house and millions of homes just like it throughout the world. As a child, I’ll never forget the tradition of Christmas Eve Mass at St. Pete’s, and then returning to a home filled with presents delivered by Santa. These presents were all underneath our beautiful Christmas tree decorated with so many special ornaments. The wonderful gatherings with the Zimmermann’s, Eberhardt’s, Schaaf’s, Albrecht’s, and now the Hoerst’s are in my heart forever.
        The traditions of shopping for the right tree, making cookies, candy, decorating the house, and wrapping the presents my brothers and I purchased from the Children’s Only Shop in Prange’s Department Store are with all of us to this day. In later years, the traditions may have altered, but mostly remain the same. Especially the tradition of the telling the stories of each of the ornaments that hang upon our tree, and what makes them so special to each of us. Because after all Every Ornament Tells a Story

BOOK BLURB:
       Mindfulness for Kids

        Homework horrors, chores, and not-so-friendly friends—that’s enough to make any kid’s brain hurt. The secret to staying cool is easy: it’s called mindfulness—and this book gives kids fun activities to practice it on their own.
      Mindfulness for Kids applies mindfulness exercises to stories and real-life scenarios that kids go through at home, school, and with friends. Shared through the voices of five children: Jasmine, Willow, Kayli, Colby, and Zeke, Mindfulness for Kids is an engaging, kid-friendly guide for handling tough situations and powerful emotions mindfully.
         From using belly breathing to help with panic before a presentation to actively listening to siblings, Mindfulness for Kids addresses the everyday challenges that kids face with:
        Mindfulness 101 that teaches kids what mindfulness is, and how they can be mindful of their emotions and senses. Relatable, real-life scenarios that kids encounter at home, school, and with friends. 30 Fun exercises that show kids how tricks like a gratitude list, “counting to calm”, and even yoga poses can help them relax and feel better from not-so-nice feelings.Mindfulness is a kind of superpower we all have but don’t know how to use. In this book, kids will learn how to use this power to feel good about themselves and the world around them through activities and stories told by kids, for kids.

REVIEW By LAWonder10:

As a Mindfulness instructor for many years, Carole P. Roman offers professional instruction and 30 uplifting activities in this very helpful book for children from age six to ten.

The introduction contains a message to parents/educators in how to best use this book, plus, a message to the children on how to best benefit from the ideas presented in stories and in doing the activities.

The book proceed with many challenges the children in this age group face in a short story, then offers thought questions and an exercise in aiding the child to deal with it in a positive manner. As the author mentions, the brain is a muscle which also can be exercised and trained.

This is i simple book to follow. It would be additionally helpful in this stressful time dealing with the pandemic.

I offer a Five Stars rating.
*This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.
