Enjoy the healthy benefits of yoga with this new kids yoga story by Kids Yoga Stories. Enjoy the book with your children this summer.
I’m thrilled to bits to invite you on the Luke’s Beach Day virtual book launch in June and July 2013.
You know those transitional moments when you are cooking, packing up for a family trip, right before bedtime, waiting at the airport, on long car trips, or having a family reunion … when your children need something to keep them engaged, entertained, and active? Well, I reckon this book would be perfect for those tricky “transitional” times! Get your children moving, learning, and having fun through literature this summer season.
Here are the details:
Character
Luke is one of the six characters in the Kids Yoga Stories series. He is from Sydney, Australia and is a passionate, sparky, inquisitive, and charismatic young boy. He has an older brother. Luke enjoys an active lifestyle and loves being outdoors hiking, biking, camping, and backpacking. He is particularly interested in Science and enjoys looking for bugs. He’s conscious of the impact that garbage is having our own environment. Luke’s character is inspired by my Australian husband and from my experiences living in Sydney.
Kids Yoga Story
Luke’s Beach Day is a kids yoga sequence wrapped around a story of Luke and his classmates on their field trip to an East Coast Australian beach. The readers act out what the children see on their day, including surfers, kangaroos, crabs, and gulls. Luke also notices all the trash on the beach. The story offers a lighthearted way to talk about the impact of garbage on the environment. It also encourages children to learn about Australia through movement and story.
