Breathing Makes it Better is a picture book that describes how bre . . .

"Breathing Makes it Better is a picture book that describes how breathing can help children experience and overcome a variety of emotions. This book begins with an illustration of six different children with a variety of emotions visible on their faces. The text normalizes experiencing emotions by stating that everybody alive experiences different feelings and emotions at different times. Each child from the illustration then has four pages devoted to their feelings and emotions. The first page introduces the way the character feels in child-friendly language. The next page shows the character stopping to take a deep breath. The illustrations on these pages are simple and help capture the way the character is feeling in that moment. The next two pages for each character are more heavily illustrated, give a name to the emotion experienced by the child, and describe how taking a deep breath helps the character find peace. The end of the book emphasizes the importance of paying attention to your breathing as you move through different feelings. The back of the book includes different ways that children can practice taking a deep breath. For example, the child could breathe in through their nose to inhale the scent of hot chocolate and then breathe out through their mouth to help cool the hot chocolate. There are also some guided prompts that caregivers or teachers could use to help guide children through talking about their emotions. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. #BreathingMakesItBetter #NetGalley"
