Read MoreThis is a wonderful book on so many levels. To call it a children’s book is doing it a disservice , as so many of us identify with Ursula. I loved it, most especially as having 3 Asian adopted children, I have watched them struggle with their “otherness” , and try to figure out which world they fit into. Mental health problems are endemic in our society, and identity options seem to further cloud the waters of many young people as they struggle to find themselves. Practising Yoga is such a therapeutic activity, wonderful for mind and body alike. Combined with the beautiful story and illustrations contained within this beautiful book, it speaks to so many on so many levels.
This book has a lovely empowering message and is a fantastic and fun way for kids to incorporate both knowledge of yoga and self-acceptance. Each page has a beginner-friendly yoga pose for kids to try out, which relates to the storyline. The message for the kids is to embrace being uniquely them. Suze Male is a great children’s book author - I 100% recommend this sweet and useful book!
Ursula is adorable, this fun picture book has a lovely story for children struggling to fit in.
A world wide adventure Ursula discovers new friends and places in the search to find out who she is.
For the small people who can't sit still there are yoga poses throughout so they can be part of the journey.
In addition to the sweet story the illustrations will make your heart happy.
The storyline is wonderfully written so children can understand what it means to be unique. The illustrations including the Yoga poses throughout, complement this so well. A beautiful introduction for children (and possibly adults) to Yoga and its benefits and what it means to be authentic. Would highly recommend this book.
