Shine
by Sherree Dee

---

Everyone holds the power within themselves to live in harmony with all other beings; it starts with a breath. Shine introduces a guided meditation practice using the breath, the imagination, and gentle movement to help children realize how they can create calm and peace inside themselves and in the world around them. Meditation using the breath is a simple and effective way to manage anxiety and stress—which even young children can experience. With a few easy-to-learn techniques, symptoms of anxiety and stress can be managed, which will lead to a more balanced, happier life, and create a sense of connection to the larger world. Shine provides a fun and accessible way to slow down and find calm and relaxation anytime, anywhere. Though these guided meditation techniques are presented for children, the adults in their lives can join in to develop useful and enjoyable skills. Explore the connection between mind, body, and spirit to create a daily meditation practice for the whole family.

"Brown's soft, dreamy illustrations portray the meditation process; some are particularly imaginative... The book nods to inclusiveness by encouraging the participation of children in wheelchairs... An accessible primer to a time-honored practice." - Kirkus Reviews --- "Students are quite receptive to book, many positive comments. I love that you highlight more diverse characters (wheelchair) without making them the focus of the whole story." - Raylee, Grade 1/2 Teacher, Regina, SK --- "What a lovely message, I can see children liking this." - Heidi, Librarian/Teacher Nanaimo, BC --- "I love it! We have been reading Shine as part of our daily activity for almost a week now. This morning the children asked me first thing what time we were reading Shine." - Trisha, Dayhome Operator, Edmonton, AB --- "One of the most beautiful books I've come across in a long time." - Sharelle, Psychology Major, Dalhousie University, NS --- "This is lovely! Definitely something that is needed in schools. It's sad to see how much stress and anxiety there seems to be amongst students." - David, Grade 6 Teacher, Edmonton, AB
