Description
Molly and Omari Learn Tapping is the second book in a series of 12 books that teach children skills they may not learn in school, while simultaneously empowering and entertaining them, contributing to their love of reading, and learning.
In Molly and Omari Learn Tapping, culturally diverse best friends Molly and Omari learn how to “tap” away their strong emotions (also called the emotional freedom technique (EFT)) at school from their teacher Mrs. Gupta. Mrs. Gupta teaches them tapping outdoors on school grounds, as the children are still in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.
Omari uses tapping for his sadness after hearing his parents argue and Molly uses tapping to help calm her nerves when getting up in front of the class for Show and Tell. This fun yet practical book will have your children smiling and learning this wonderful technique while simultaneously being entertained through Molly and Omari’s adventures.
Bonus: The last chapter in Molly and Omari Learn Tapping speaks to the reader directly, encouraging them by stating how many words and chapters they just lsitened to, thereby increasing metacognition, boosting confidence, and contributing to social and emotional well-being.
Recommended by teachers for teaching SEL (social-emotional learning), skills for coping with anxiety, socialization, behavior management, getting along with others, sharing, cooperative learning, and problem-solving. Realistic fiction. Grade levels: first through third. Fountas and Pinnell Reading Levels L-N.

"The vocabulary and storyline in this book are excellent! I can think of several ways to incorporate this book into my daily lessons, from learning to read, spell and define vocabulary, to utilizing as a companion text for lessons on science and social-emotional learning. In the midst of this pandemic of 2020, nothing could be more valuable and right on target than a story that informs and equips children with the tools to keep themselves centered, relaxed and calm through yoga. I highly recommend this book!

I read Molly and Omari Learn Yoga to my 2nd grade class. My class right now is hybrid (half at home and half in front of me). Both groups enjoyed the story and tried out the poses as I read the description that Molly & Omari followed. I was surprised by the background knowledge many had of the different yoga poses. The story had a very calming flow to it. I read it at the end of the day but I easily see it being a story to read after recess to calm and refocus students. I asked my students their favorite part and they shared that they liked the characters and the yoga pose but everyone agreed that their most favorite part was when the author spoke to them after the story was finished. They had never read/listened to a story where the author spoke directly to them and they were charmed by it. I highly recommend this book.

Loved the characters, the story, the vocabulary, and the colorful illustrations which show kids simple yoga poses in an understandable and approachable way. Kids will look forward to following Molly and Omari’s future adventures!

I am a great grandmother and i bought the book thinking that my grandkids could read it to their kids. I really believe that yoga is a great way to deal with anxiety, especially in young children who do not typically have coping mechanisms yet. Starting at a young age could help in their future. This book with very well written and presented in such a fun way to keep children engaged, while learning ways to work through anxiety. Wish i could give this more than 5 stars!!
