Shout it out! Yoga therapy for emotional resilience by Loranine Rushton & Adele Vincent. Illus. by Andrew McIntosh

This book is for children who may be experiencing big feelings leading to frustration and responses to situations that may not be quite as they want. Jasmine is having one of those days where all is not going as well as expected. She tries very hard to change her way of responding and thinking and some important yoga poses and techniques are helping her to get through her day.

The long text is broken up by the use of larger font to emphasis key words. The illustrations show images of Jasmine initiating the yoga poses and in the final pages are the individual poses clearly shown with supporting instructions.

This picture book may be a resource for all who struggle with negative feelings and the yoga may help contain or refocus their feelings.

Themes: Big Feelings, Children, Yoga, Emotional Resilience.
