Mula and the Unsure Elephant

I love this series of picture books that focus on mental health through yoga! This particular installment is about an elephant who needs attention and compliments from others to feel loved. Through deep breathing and yoga, she finds that self-love was what she really needed. That lesson is something people of all ages need to hear. Beautiful art as always!

My family has loved this series of fun yoga stories! Mula and the Unsure Elephant introduces Mani, an elephant who lacks confidence when she fails to receive her morning compliment. Can Mula, the Fly, and yoga help Mani uncover that she has already has everything she needs within herself?

With beautifully colorful and expressive illustrations, this book is engaging and fun for young kids. The story makes complex concepts of yoga philosophy accessible to even the youngest. There is a QR code for a complementary audiobook that accompanies this story, and my family loved listening to the expressive narrator read the story with different voices for the various animal characters. I highly recommend this series for any family, but it will be especially special for those familiar with yoga and meditation.

Thank you to Sweet Cherry Publishing and NetGalley for gifting us with an advance readers copy. We loved it!

Mula and the Unsure Elephant was a wonderful beginner book for children/parents starting yoga. This book focused on one of the core features of yoga and how meditation can help individuals overcome self-confidence issues. Great book for children that included wonderfully, bright illustrations.

This is the second book that I have read in this series of Mula and similar to the other one this one is finding a way to teach kids about the mental health benefits of Yoga. In this book we are following Mula and Mani the Elephant. Mani is having a sad morning as he hasn't gotten his morning compliment for another person. A compliment that proves to him that he matters and is special.

In this book, yoga is being use to help finding your own confidence from your self. That you don't need others giving you affirmation to feel special and strong.

This is a cute book and is an interesting way to share Yoga with young readers. The illustrations are bright and unique colors. Not the typical colors that you would expect on the animals in this book. Giving it a little sense of whimsy.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publshing for this advanced reader copy. My review is voluntarily my own.

I will be posting my review to my Instagram page the.littlest.booknook and retail sites close or on publication.
