My Thoughts Have Wings Reviews

"The cozy ideas will comfort nervous young readers and make a strong conversation starter for less-than-sure caretakers.Everyone worries,and barring a late-night banana bread craving, the soothing suggestions will surely bring somnolence on soft feathers. Fortitude against fluttering fears." Kirkus Reviews "Offering a portrait of a family addressing a childs fears, this mindfulness-oriented work explores accessible techniques whose practice offers pleasure, too." Publishers Weekly "The text is clear against the page, the vocabulary is simple, and the concept is one that children will not only understand, but will probably use in their own lives. Hatchs child-friendly, sweet illustrations really show how a child experiences the world. This is a generous tale that is also an excellent tool to give to children and psychologists." School Library Journal "This one is for the anxious kiddos, and Smith enhances the relatability of the story by focusing on a young childs first-person experience of a mind that just wont turn off. Straightforward language allows the thoughts-as-birds metaphor to shine with its meditative sagacity. Hatchs hand-painted digital illustrations have a remarkable luminosity." Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books "A picture book that confronts anxiety with thoughtfulness, and is a balm for the chaotic soul. Buy it for the child whosebusy brain makes it difficult to fall asleep, and keep it for the calming effect it'll have on you, too." Bestselling author Isaac Fitzgerald, Today Show Spring Pick
