Where Do You Go?

Product Description Where Do You Go? is an enjoyable to read rhyming book focusing on the power of the mind to create a place in our imagination that brings us peace. Maybe we dream of a beach where oceans crash, or floating freely and slowly through space to find our calm. This story talks of the normalcy of having a busy brain with worries, fears and jumbled thoughts, and walks through some special places we can imagine to take us away from the "buzz" that our brains can feel. The incorporation of imagining with all of our senses is a great and useful mindfulness tool for emotional regulation in both children and adults. Suitable for all ages to encourage the mindful practice of taking "mental vacations" when we need a break and finding a grounded peace in the sometimes chaotic world around us. Review "Every day, we are constantly bombarded by information, personal concerns, and a range of questions. We wish we could escape to a still and beautiful place and forget our worries. Larson shows that it is possible to create such places through the power of our minds." --Edith Wairimu"Where Do You Go? by Laura Larson is one of my favorite children's books (among all those I have read lately) as it is about what makes children's lives hard; difficult times such as the COVID lockdown in the past, being ready for a test and being stressed out about it, being sick and worried, missing one's loved ones. It offers a powerful way to feel better and to be independent. Indeed, this enchanting book allows young people (and older, for that matter) to dream in varied pretty places where they can relax. Imagining being in those places is a way of meditating and being closer to oneself while being more secure inside, calmer, and happier.Our children, grandchildren, and students deserve to be more joyful in a world that is not always reassuring and mostly in crisis. Young minds have to face major actual and future threats, too often in addition to a feeling of helplessness, even despair. This adorable book is a means to tell them that one good way to cope is to find shelter within themselves, thanks to the unlimited power of imagination. This will contribute to raising the general level of good vibrations and hope. Keeping one's spirits high will help everybody in the long run!" --Marie-Hélène Fasquel"Laura Larson has found a way to help us find a calming place in the comfort of our own homes, using our powerful minds. We all strive for peace but have different ideas of what would bring peace and harmony to our minds. Where Do You Go? is really helpful for both children and adults who need a special place to escape to for a "brain holiday". --Natalie Soine About the Author Laura Larson is a licensed elementary school counselor of 11 years living in Minnesota with her husband, two children, dogs and chicken.
