Details: Product Description Celebrate the creativity and self-expression of yoga in this companion to New York Times bestsellers I Am Human and I Am Love!   An eagle soaring among the clouds or a star twinkling in the night sky . . . a camel in the desert or a boat sailing across the sea. Yoga has the power of transformation. Not only does it strengthen bodies and calm minds, but with a little imagination, it can show us that anything is possible.   Renowned illustrator Peter H. Reynolds and author and certified yoga instructor Susan Verde team up again in this book about creativity and the power of self-expression. I Am Yoga encourages children to explore the world of yoga and make room in their hearts for the world beyond it.   A kid-friendly guide to yoga poses is included.   Also available: I Am. . . A Box of Goodness! Get I Am Yoga, I Am Peace, I Am Human, and a bonus two-sided poster in a giftable box set.   From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—Another pleasing picture book from the creative team behind The Museum (2013) and You and Me (2015, both Abrams). Verde's lyrical language meshes well with Reynolds's peaceful, tranquil cartoon illustrations, done in muted tones. A young girl explains why she does yoga and describes each move as she does them. "I can sail on the sea./ I go with the flow" accompanies The Boat Pose. "I can carry beauty with me./ I am full" with a Bow/Basket Pose. Fun to read, the narration encourages movement, and the author note and information on each pose at the end of the book are great teaching tools. VERDICT A delightful introduction to the subject as well as a wonderful read-aloud for movement and mindfulness.—Jane Hebert, Glenside Public Library District, Glendale Heights, IL Review STARRED REVIEW "Empowering affirmations and playful illustrations will inspire both children and adults to slow down and strike a pose." ― Kirkus Reviews "...whimsically detailed, color-washed ink illustrations positively present yoga as a means for rejuvenation and inspiration... children’s yoga teacher Verde highlights yoga concepts and potential benefits for kids and adults and provides the names, descriptions, and instructions for the 16 poses featured in this book." ― Booklist About the Author Susan Verde is the author of The Museum, You and Me, and I Am Peace.
