Beeing Calm: Bilingual: English/Español (Spanish Edition): I was expecting more coloring pages. 3 Stars I have taken the authors class through SOU and though the book is both bi-lingual and has good techniques for reaching kids and helping to connect their feelings to their bodies I was still expecting more coloring pages.

The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65!: Couldn't put it down! Couldn't put it down! Fantastic, true life story telling of daring adventures, amazing problem-solving and imagination unlimited in those solutions. I totally concur with Janai's approach to a natural and holistic lifestyle for both healing and spiritual ways of living. Sudden little and big puffs of laughter made it a joy to read! Janai's heartfelt pains also came through of both her own and others. Kids and adults with distraught and tangled lives she was often very able to comfort, many times in completely unexpected ways! A good read!

The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65!: An inspiring story of spiritual growth - a wonderful read! A wonderful, inspiring read, packed with fun stories, creative tools and unique solutions. Grandma Boom Chronicles describe Janai's life journey of spiritual growth with an endearing mix of wit, humor and rigorous honesty.Her work with children is phenomenal - every parent should read her books, and every child should be provided with her tools.I have the privilege to know Janai in person, and she is not only 'more alive at 65' than most everyone else, but she is also every bit as dynamic, and full of adventure and inspiration, as the book shows. She is one of the bravest people I know.

The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65!: An inspiring and powerful book The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65 is a very powerful book. There are so many things I appreciate about it. Grandma Boom writes with honesty and humour. In these Chronicles, even her difficult experiences are described with grace and gentleness. It enables the reader to easily empathize and relate to her. I also appreciate the strong thread of resilience that is woven throughout. Grandma Boom teaches that a challenge can be used to make us stronger. This inspiring attitude made me love her even more and appreciate the magic she possesses. Grandma Boom is a spiritual teacher and a humanitarian. She demonstrates a life well-lived and she leads by example!This is a great book – for young and old. It would be perfect for book clubs to read and study because of the universality of her experiences. It is a book that uplifts my soul and makes me want to strive for greater and greater heights! Thank you Thank you Thank you, Grandma Boom!

The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65!: Debbie Raymond Pinet I received this wonderful book at a time when change was happening in our family household. Very quickly after reading the first few chapters, I knew this was going to be a fantastic read! Jania has a way of sharing truths in a vulnerable, undeniable way. The family depicted are full of life, charismatic and strong, but, also show an emotional side that most of us can relate with. Subtle innuendos and actual quotes that Janai shared, bring humor, as well as sensitivity to a story of courage, love and strong spirituality. As she finds her way day after day, year after year, she shares her triumphs and tribulations, of a women proud and continuously thriving. The photos at the end of the book, gave it a nice surprise and I found gave it a more personal touch to every character. I recommend to anyone who's looking for a true story with values and written with glorious love.

The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65!: Is Grannyism a word? What a trip back into time, even if it is only the 50's and 60's! Absolutely delightful and so entertaining. Janai has overcome so much to be the marvelous example of a grandma she is now. I find myself wishing even more for grandchildren so I could find Janai and ask for personal lessons. They don't teach you how to be a parent but Janai would be the perfect person to teach grannyism. Blessings on her for all she's done for children everywhere!

The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65!: "Grandma Toots" in my book! I had the advantage of being familiar with Janai's work with children prior to reading her memoir. I have been a fan of her body of work, have seen her in action, and now have a fuller understanding of her inspiration. I navigated the book in small doses, as some of the stories were painful to read and I could relate having had similar experiences in my upbringing. I grew up in "dysfunction junction" as well and thought there had to be a better way to raise children. Janai is clearly an expert in her field and she's very user friendly to boot. Her enthusiasm and costuming make it safe for children, inner children included, to play and learn emotional maturity. I have my own nickname for Janai, "Grandma Toots". She has run the gauntlet of adversity and triumphantly "tooted" her own spiritual growth horn! I recommend all her children's books, for anyone who has children in their lives. A real blessing. Thank you.

The Grandma Boom Chronicles: More Alive at 65!: Baby Boomers will love the astute and humorous anecdotes of growing up post ... Janai Mestrovich's book is a journey of truth and wisdom. Baby Boomers will love the astute and humorous anecdotes of growing up post WWII in Kansas. Laugh, cry, and grow along with Janai on her life's tumultuous path. Share in her insights and perspectives that link the past to the present. You will come away with renewed hope and joy for life at any stage. The affirmations at the end of the book are a tool for transformation, as I have personally experienced. If you appreciate the writings of Isabel Allende and Sandra Cisneros, you will thoroughly enjoy this book.

Dragonella: Dragonella, a wonderfully magical book! This is a fabulous and beautifully illustrated book for children. Within an enchanted context of magic and make believe, Dragonella teaches children how to self-regulate their emotions (i.e., close their eyes, take slow deep breathes and calm themselves). Within a story, it models how to get along better with others and why this is important. It does this in a powerful way. Dragonella leaves a young reader feeling empowered with hope that she can change and others can change, too. While there are many books available that do similar things, this one stands out! Dragonella is a very spiritual book that will resonate with children who are sensitive - and most children are! It actually gives the reader a healing. For these reasons, Dragonella should be read over and over again. Children will feel the positive energy, understand the messages and become empowered more deeply with time.From an educational perspective, I think the author should use the same themes and create a book series with different protagonists: a little boy, a disabled child, a child whose parents are divorced, a child who has a non-traditional nuclear family (two mothers, two fathers, single parent, adopted sibling from a different culture). The possibilities are great!Thank you Janai Lowenstein! Thank you Du Ling! Dragonella is a special book!

Dragonella: One of the best Children's Books! Janai Lowenstein has an absolutely amazing book she has written. It is Dragonella. Dragonella is filled with wonderment, surprises, loving kindness, and lessons so numerous throughout the book. Some of the most valuable life lessons are weaved in this sweet and empowering story of young Claire who is tranformed into Dragonella and has adventures filled with learning how she can and does help others.Claire discovers her own power in who she is and meets so many colorful characters/teachers along the way.The illustrations are beyond precious and delightful.This book is not to be missed--it is a treasure and will captivate children until the very end.

Dragonella: beautiful message; beautiful illustrations Dragonella's illustrations will capture your child's interest and imagination. The message will place a seed of caring about other's feelings. The story shows how children can become calm in conflict and make choices that are kinder to themselves and others. This is a message that is good for everyone, regardless of age. This helpful book adds an element of inner feelings to external adventure. It creates an awareness that we all impact each other, and we can choose to do so with kinder and more positive intentions. Well done!
