review:
'Your Mind is Like the Sky: A First Book of Mindfullness' by Bronwen Ballard with illustrations by Laura Carlin is a book aimed at teaching children what to do with negative thoughts.

A child's mind is compared to the sky. Sometimes blue and sunny, sometimes gray and unclear. A child's thoughts are the various clouds in those skies. The reader is shown how to view thoughts as fleeting and to deal with the darker ones that come along. The book includes an afterword to parents and a series of steps for older readers to go through.

I liked this helpful book explaining that thoughts are just thoughts and don't need to control us. The illustrations have a nice kind of surreal quality to them that goes with the story.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
