Why is today the very best day of the year? And what does a broken teacup have to do with anything? In fresh, accessible poems about mindfulness and related themes, award-winning poet Allan Wolf takes on subjects from kindness to confidence, from finding peace in nature to letting your own joyful \"YAWP!\" be heard (thank you, Walt Whitman). Woven throughout are subtle how-to's on meditation, breathwork, visualization, yoga, journaling, and more, as well as taking in others' points of view, letting go of anger, and other invaluable elements of social-emotional learning. \"Accept the way you feel, and turn \/ your worry into wonder,\" says the poet. This charming collection, animated by Jade Orlando's bright illustrations, offers the tools and the inspiration to make that happen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allan Wolf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 9.80w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536228953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2025 pg. 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2025 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan Wolf\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many award-winning books for children and teens, including \u003ci\u003eHow to Tantrum Like a Champion\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Blanket Where Violet Sits\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBehold Our Magical Garden\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNo Buddy Like a Book\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Day the Universe Exploded My Head\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Blood-Hungry Spleen and Other Poems About Our Parts\u003c\/i\u003e.
