Let's Move With Manda

The basic purpose of the book is to inspire young children to exercise in a fun way while also beginning to learn some meditative practices/positions. The central character of Manda Panda is an inactive figure while the other characters serve to encourage Manda Panda to move. Each movement is a simple yet fun set of physical actions that small children would enjoy performing. Each supporting character has a quirk or standout characteristic that serves to separate them from the others.
The end of the story uses the character of Gentle Jenny to flirt with transitioning the reader from physical activities to those yoga-type ideas of meditative poses and mindsets.
Ending with the concept of Namaste - I honor you, you honor me -completes the journey Manda Panda has been on, offering the hope of physical and mental fitness that leads Manda Panda to a peaceful understanding of her place in the world.
