My 7 year old enjoyed this book. She said the book made her feel peaceful and calm.

I like the words used throughout the book and I think the drawings are nicely done. Since it has the alphabet, you can also use the words and sort of flash cards to teaching your little one new words for reading.

Cute book about areas and things to focus on in order to bring calm to your little one. I would have liked to see more of the words featured have a more direct link with the idea of calm, and maybe colors that were lighter to give a calming effect.

This is such a lovely book and one many of us need at the moment during lockdown. It's a very simple A-Z book, themed around being calm, relaxing and mindfulness. From A for aware to Z for zen, it's a wonderful reminder for us to pause, breathe and embrace the simple things around us. I feel like this would be the perfect gift for a new mum, to read to the baby when he/she needs calming but also to help Mum feel calm on some of those really hard days.

This was such a cute book that both my daughter and I really enjoyed! It is such a simple idea with very cute pictures but so important to remember.

LOVE this book! So many ABC books focus on animals and those are fine... but I think it's wonderful to have a theme of mindfulness and calm like this book focuses on.

From Aware to Zen, Calm teaches mindfulness and meditation concepts with a different word for each letter of the alphabet. Anna’s illustrations are perfect for babies who will love the big contrasts and simple images that perfectly illustrate Jennifer’s mindfulness concepts.

With much of the world currently experiencing some form of lockdown, the words which particularly stood out for me were: G for grateful, I for inspiration and V for vivid (which has a picture of a rainbow). Right now, we all need to find the joy in the little things.

Now more than ever, mindfulness is something we all need in our lives. This board book is a perfect place to start teaching this important skill to young children. Most of the words have one page, but C for Calm has a double page and it really is the perfect title for this little gift book as it does sum up the feeling this book creates.

I read this book last night and thought that it would be a perfect book to aim at new parents/grandparents for them to read, even for adults looking for a simple mindfulness book - I just think it is missing the point having this as a board book to teach children, and babies and that is a shame as the concept is good. My daughter is nearly three and very bright and knows a lot of thoughts and feelings and she wasn't aware of what some of these words were so for me it misses the target audience.

Baby loves: calm will definitely be added to our library upon its release. The illustrations are lovely and we enjoyed the peaceful and mindful theme
