Authors: Laurie Grossman & Ms. Moses’s Fourth Grade Class
Foreword: James Butler, MEd
Design: Angelina Manriquez
From the creators of the hugely successful Master of Mindfulness, this charming children’s book (ages 4–7) tells the story of Nessa and Leo’s friendship—and how mindfulness helps them navigate strong emotions like fear, shyness, and anger.
Written and illustrated by a diverse group of kindergarteners and fourth graders from Reach Academy in Oakland, CA, Breath Friends Forever introduces simple, practical mindfulness techniques such as the Shark Fin and Thumb Technique to help kids manage stress in real time. With fun illustrations and authentic kid-to-kid language, this book empowers children to handle their emotions while building compassion and resilience.
More than just a story, this book is also a valuable tool for parents, teachers, and caregivers, supporting social-emotional learning, self-regulation, and confidence during critical early childhood development.
