A sweet story about learning new things, and learning how to change, told in a clear way with interesting language that uses subtle rhyming to keep the story moving." "Sweet story about the meaning of kindness and the value of being ourselves. Kids & adults often struggle with feeling different & worry about being accepted." "I love not only the message, but also the illustrations! Great work!" "An adorable story, beautifully illustrated. It utilizes important yoga philosophies to teach the consequences of our actions, and effective strategies to utilize instead. In addition, the book contains access to a free virtual class to learn the poses that helped Mogo so much." "Really enjoyed this book as a morality tale and an introduction to the philosophy behind yoga! My youngest was able to follow the story and take the lesson from it, and I personally appreciated the story as a way of illustrating the yamas and niyamas in layperson's terms. Would recommend to any parent who is looking for a way to tackle the complex topic of a moral compass with their children."

It's a tale our divided world needs right now." About the Author Kim Stevenson is a certified Iyengar yoga instructor and author of children's books about yoga philosophy.
