A powerful story to help kids learn understand the importance of focus and attention. If they can experience what it feels like to focus on one thing, or have a Panda Moment, then they are ready to notice when they are distracted because they are trying to do more than one thing at once, or being Monkey-Minded. Extremely useful as a tool in the classroom of very young students. This wonderful picture book for children and adults alike introduces the powerful practice of mindfulness in a fun and exciting way. With the delightful Monkey and his serene friend Happy Panda guiding readers to a calmer and more attentive mind, this whimsical yet warm presentation will delight all readers.

As our story begins, Monkey is not so mindful - his Monkey Mind constantly jumping from one thing to another - but he encounters a mysterious and playful friend in Happy Panda. Panda helps Monkey recognize the simple joy of doing what you're doing while you're doing it.
