A Pebble in Your Pocket by Zen master, poet, peace activist, and Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh brings us wisdom and pure joy straight from Plum village. Written as a series of short, illustrated stories, the book uses metaphor and imagery to teach kids practical exercises in breathing, sitting and walking meditation, recognising and letting go of feelings, and the nature of interdependence. His well known pebble metaphor uses four pebbles – representing a flower, mountain, still water, and space – to get children to sit and meditate on the breath (Ānāpānasati). Accessible and calming, this book is a nice and easy way to bring a simple mindfulness practice into family life. Suitable for children aged 4 and up.
