Publisher Description
Say namaste to Meddy Teddy, a rising star in the yogi world, in his debut picture book!
Media and social media sensation Meddy Teddy is a cuddly, yoga pant-clad, completely poseable plush bear that introduces meditation and mindfulness practices to little yogis. In this first-ever companion book, Meddy encourages readers to try yoga poses as he comes out of hibernation, greets the springtime, and teaches his forest friends how to mindfully get through a variety of situations. On each page, Meddy shows how to execute a pose, including downward-facing dog, tree pose, the Warrior, and more. The youngest yogis, and their families and friends, will rejoice as they master each one, and work up to completing the whole sequence!
Yoga and mindfulness have proven benefits for kids: they help them become aware of their own bodies, and deal with feelings like anxiety, frustration, confusion, fear, and sadness in a healthy way. Meddy Teddy is perfect for introducing kids (and grown ups) of all ages to the practice of yoga.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Meddy Teddy is a brand of plush, posable teddy bears created by three brothers, with the goal of inspiring kids to practice yoga. In his first picture book, Meddy who has a peaceful smile and wears a pair of white yoga pants wakes on the first day of spring before Mama and Papa Teddy. On a walk through meadowlands, Meddy Teddy strikes the mountain pose, downward dog, butterfly, and happy baby, among other formations. Along the bottom of the page are photos of the Meddy Teddy toy in each pose. Meddy Teddy uses his awareness to help others, including Hedgehog, who is lost ("Take a deep breath and focus on what you're trying to remember"). He is the picture of tranquility, until he's back home and loudly exclaims to his still-slumbering parents, "Mama! Papa! Wake up! It's spring!" It's a refreshing reminder that he's still just a kid. A final spread directs readers to Meddy Teddy's social media pages. Ages 4 8.
