Even at a perfect playground in Paris, bad things can happen. Blake pushes his friend Sloane on the ground as they are playing and learns the universal lesson about importance of non-violence and non-harming from Ahimsa himself.  In her second picture book, author and mother Lauren Eastman reminds us that peace can be found everywhere, and that non-violence is an essential lesson for all of us to learn, wherever we find ourselves. As Ahimsa speaks about kindness and gentle action, beautiful watercolor illustrations featuring famous Parisian imagery invite young readers and adults to take a moment to think about the impact of their own actions. This engaging, mindful picture book provides reflection for children to explore their own actions, and to empower them to think about how those actions will be received before reacting. The story draws upon eastern philosophies that empower children to build universal skills in their emotional development. The intention of Ahimsa is to personify the act of non-violence and help children access a relatable remedy for life''s stressors. The story frames frustration as a normal part of everyday life and something that children have the power to solve for themselves while capturing their imagination. Based on the Yamas and Niyamas lessons of yoga, which offer guidelines for the practice of living, the Sound of Sharing Series shares an easy to understand meaning of Sanskrit words and teachings to provide children and parents with a varied dialogue for conversations about ways to live. Geared to kids 3-11, perfect for boys, girls, early readers, primary school students, or toddlers. Excellent resource for parents, counselors and teachers, stories offer new perspectives of everyday challenges and provide children with the ability to connect inward to face their feelings with tools to overcome life''s challenges.
