Dancing with Butterflies

Oh no! What's this feeling Leah has as she prepares for her very first dance recital?

 

Her mommy thinks it's butterflies, but that cannot be. Everyone knows butterflies aren't in our tummies. Or are they? In this meditation for

beginners' book, Leah learns that deep breathing exercises are not only relaxing, but the perfect way to calm her tummy. This beautifully illustrated mommy and me book encourages readers to manage anxiety with an easy-to-read story. Designed to educate children and parents on the power of breathing techniques to overcome anxiety, this book encourages African-American children to recognize the beauty in body

awareness, so they have the confidence to dance their way to their dreams!
