Editorial Reviews

After read this book to my 5 year old at bedtime, it has become our bedtime book and is read every night. I really think it relaxes her (and me too) and helps transitioning to sleep. I also believe that she "gets it" and that is why she enjoys it so much. The breathing exercise is her favorite. I highly recommend this book. It is a great way to introduce a way to relaxation at an early age.

My son has a hard time relaxing at night. He has autism. So our favorite way for him to settle down and relax is to read "A boy and a turtle". He is able to forget about his day and relax. I am also able to calm down as I read the book. We are both ready to sleep when we are done. This book is our favorite of the series. They are all good but this is our absolute fav!
