This Breath: Finding Calm in Any Moment

Bys: Tyner, Artika R. and Braithwaite, Jill

Jackson can hardly contain his excitement. It's the morning of his big tennis match, and he's eager to get to the court and give it his best. But before the day begins, his dad shares a lesson that will stay with him far beyond the tennis court.

"Breathe up. Exhale down."

With this simple practice, Jackson begins to understand the incredible power of mindful breathing. Throughout one special day, he learns how his breath can help him slow down, stay focused, and choose how he responds in difficult moments. From the thrill of competition to the comfort of family and the quiet strength found in a deep breath, This Breath gently introduces children to mindfulness, emotional awareness, and the power within themselves.

With a message rooted in calm, confidence, and the belief that every person has the right to breathe free, this heartfelt story invites families to pause, breathe together, and discover the strength that lives inside each of us. It's perfect for classrooms, bedtime reading, and meaningful family conversations.
