Sense Like A Worm: Garden-Based Mindfulness Book for Young Children

Have you watched a worm moving around in the garden? In this interactive story, young readers discover the role of worms in soil aeration, soil mixing, and decomposition, as well as worms' amazing sensory systems. Listeners practice using all their senses to be more present in the garden. With simple instructions woven into the narrative, children notice what they can hear, feel, see, taste, and smell. Written by a researcher, educator, mindfulness instructor, and yoga teacher this book utilizes the experiential learning model and evidence-based strategies to help parents and caring adults teach self-regulation skills to the young children in their lives. Additional details on sensory awareness practices are provided for adults at the end of the book.
