Product Description: When Jeeva becomes jealous of a new boy in school, the little yogi reacts by isolating himself from the other children. When his feelings inside beginning to escalate, Jeeva reacts to his conflicted emotions and begins to bully the new boy, Samir. Will Jeeva continue down his path of bullying and negativity, or will he learn to work through his ill feelings towards Samir? This easy-to-read, interactive yoga book teaches children to work through the negative feelings they might have toward others. Approaching bullying from a unique perspective, this wonderful book puts bullying in the spotlight by getting into the mind of a bully. A fantastic book for children and parents alike, the book teaches a positive and insightful anti-bullying message while expertly instructing children and parents with invaluable yoga exercises.

2nd book in the Jeeva series (see my review for the 1st book here: http://omazingkidsllc.com/2013/02/02/review-giveaway-jeeva-finds-courage-read-and-learn-yoga-book/)
Here’s what I love about this book:
Each 2-page spread has a full-page colorful illustration on the left. The right side has short text in a large easy-to-read font plus an illustration of the yoga pose.
Poses in the book: cat, down dog, up dog, lizard, tree, half moon, back bend, monkey, elephant, warrior, chair, butterfly.
Love that the story is written from the perspective of a child who ends up being the bully, that his teacher helps him consider the feelings of the child he has bullied and to use breathing as a calming technique.
“Let’s Talk About Jeeva” discussion page (ex: Why do you think Jeeva was so angry? Do you think it would be hard to be the new kid in school or in your neighborhood? etc…). This is a great way to get kids to really think about the concepts learned in the story and apply them to their own lives.
Love how the Jeeva series is addressing common situations & behavioral issues faced by children.
Includes a brief relaxation script for savasana.
A 13-page section at the end of the book provides another illustration of each pose & detailed but easy-to-understand instructions for that pose.
