Review by: Cassandra Ricafort
In this well-thought out book on mindfulness, children can learn what thoughts are, how to deal with intrusive thoughts, and how to self-regulate when the thoughts become too much to handle. The watercolour illustrations complement the text well. When the intrusive thoughts begin to overwhelm, the illustrations depict chaos. When the mindfulness instruction begins, the story has an airy and weightless feel that you would expect when talking about mindfulness. With its short, easy to read text, this picture book would serve as a great tool to use in a classroom or at home. Think a Thought would be a wonderful addition to any library catering to young children.
