You Are a Lion!: And Other Fun Yoga Poses

With simple instructions and bright, clear illustrations, award-winning artist Taeeun Yoo invites children to enjoy yoga by assuming playful animal poses. And she sparks their imagination further by encouraging them to pretend to be the animal - to flutter like a butterfly, hiss like a snake, roar like a lion and more. Yoga is great for kids because it promotes flexibility and focus - and it's relaxing good fun The charming pictures of children and animals and the lyrical text make this gentle introduction to yoga a book to be treasured.
