Description
Mae and Namaste
Mae’s feelings are as big as the ocean, crashing like waves on the gentle beach. But when she lays out her yoga mat, the world is still for a moment, and a calm rushes over her. Mae and Namaste is an interactive picture book that walks children pose by pose through a yoga flow to help them find their inner calm.
Perfect for ages 4-7. This book is a wonderful classroom and naptime story to help kids find their namaste like Mae. For fans of Susan Verde’s I Am Yoga and I Am Peace, Mariam Gates’s Good Night Yoga, and Jo Witek’s In My Heart.

This book is a beautiful resource for budding a yogi.
🎉 Coupled with illustrations the book captures nature’s elements & may help anyone of any age reconsider the role their emotions have on them.
I hope to see more from this debut author.

Love how this author describes what big emotions feel like in language young children will understand and offers strategies for self-calming and focus. Simple yoga moves are well described and coupled with an effective illustration for each one. Teachers and parents will love to use this book as an introduction to raising confident children capable of managing their emotions. Bravo!

A beautifully written and illustrated book for children and young teens alike. I love how Kara Kotecki describes feelings as various physical sensations, making it easy for everyone to identify with. ” …burst out like gigantic waves crashing on the beach.” She adds lovely descriptions of feelings together with behaviors for normalization as well. It illustrates basic yoga poses with lovely images making it easy to learn. A great resource for children to practice achieving inner calm and self-empowerment. Mae and Namaste is a must-have book!
