Take a Breath

An anxious baby bird who fears he'll never learn to fly gets a lesson in mindfulness in this funny and sweetly encouraging picture book about believing in yourself.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Every morning, the birds are flapping with excitement for their first flight of the day...except for Bob. Bob doesn't get the whole flying thing; when the other baby birds go up, up, up, he goes down, down, down. Bob can't help worrying...what if he never learns how to fly?

His friend Crow tells him, 'All you need to do is breathe, Bob.' Of course, Bob breathes all the time, but there's breathing and then there's B-R-E-A-T-H-I-N-G. And it might just be the thing to calm Bob's ruffled feathers.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Take a Breath by Sujean Rim is praised for its gentle narrative and quirky illustrations that effectively convey themes of overcoming self-doubt. The book offers sound advice for children experiencing overextension, with the use of watercolour, pencil, and digital art creating engaging and humorous expressions. Vibrant primary colours and ample white space highlight the central character, Bob, making it both fun and appealing to young readers while encouraging them to practise the breathing exercises depicted.
