Written for children? Adults need this too Ethan Don't tell anyone, but I actually bought this for my wife :). She's the type of person that always feels she should be doing something else instead of what she is doing right now.Under the guise of it being a "bedtime story" for our children, she has now read it several times. The kids are also quoting it, so she's getting reinforcement that way too.Very smart, very practical book that every one should read over and over again. Highly recommended.. Good for toddlers My three year old loves this book. The hidden ladybug was his favorite and when we talk about his day we go through the things in the book; did you read today? did you play today? etc. Totally recommend!. Top Mom said Wonderful book. Great for adults as well as children!. I bought this book for my son. I figured he likes pandas and monkeys and Mommy likes mindfulness. Ok Ok. I bought this book for me too. It is beautifully illustrated and written with style. I have also read it to therapy clients (I am a therapist). I hope this book spreads like wildfire. It's simply perfect.
