Editorial Reviews

Review

★★★★★
"I Breathe for Me, by Reesa Shayne, emerges as a thoughtful and educational picture book, particularly beneficial for young readers. This book delves into the importance of breathing as a fundamental tool for managing emotions. Shayne introduces simple yet effective breathing techniques, making it accessible for children to discover their inner strength in moments of distress, anxiety, or when seeking tranquility.
The book presents these concepts in a manner that resonates well with toddlers, who often grapple with understanding and regulating their emotions. Shayne's approach, utilizing breathing as a practical method for emotional control, offers a valuable strategy for both parents and children. A notable element of the book is the introduction of 'Gabby's Corner,' a designated space for the character to unwind and engage in positive affirmations. This inclusion not only adds a unique touch to the story but also serves as a practical example for young readers to create their own safe space for relaxation and self-affirmation. The book culminates with a helpful section titled 'A Daily Breathing Exercise in 5 Easy Steps.' This addition is particularly helpful as it provides a structured activity that parents and children can practice together, further reinforcing the book's teachings.
I Breathe for Me stands out as an engaging and educational children's book, especially suitable for parents and their young children. It offers practical, easy-to-follow techniques for emotional regulation, making it a beneficial addition to any young reader's library."

"I Breathe For Me was a pleasure to read. From start to finish, talented author Reesa Shayne will delight young readers with her positivity-filled rhymes. This book will not only entertain children, but it will also give them every ounce of encouragement they'll need while growing up. It will teach them to believe in themselves and never to give up. The content has been perfectly written and children will follow along with ease. The illustrations by Uttara Garg are professional and colorful and fit nicely within the storyline. I was impressed with Reesa's wonderful creation..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have book to teach our littles mindfulness
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024

My 18 month old's favorite things in the world are her books. And as a book lover myself, and also someone who struggles with anxiety my whole life, I looooove this book! It's absolutely something I could have used when I was little. If I had been raised already learning mindfulness tools to help combat my anxiety, I wonder how different things may have been for me. So I love that I get to provide books like this to my child as she grows, whether she ever struggles with anxiety or not. The pictures are beautiful and it has such a wonderful message throughout, yet is simple too. I wish it came in a board book version, because those are much easier for my kid to flip through, so for now I'll just need to be more careful with this copy in the meantime until she can turn through its pages herself. Absolutely no regrets getting this, what a special and encouraging book for our kids!

After I read a few sample pages on Amazon, I knew this book would be relevant to me and to my nieces and nephews. I ordered the hardcover, and it's absolutely everything I had hoped for. The story delivers a strong message, in a fun way, about staying calm in stressful situations, and the illustrations are adorable! Every child, teenager, and adult can benefit from reading this book. I look forward to seeing future books from this author.

I appreciate that the story was not just about positivity and things working out. It realistically showed that even if you are angry, frustrated or take a loss - at least you tried. I always love a good bonus piece to children’s books and the breathing exercises are great.

Bonus: The little girl is so stinking cute. Kudos to the illustrator and author for their collaboration
