A Kid’s Book of Yoga Poses with a Meditative, Mindful Frog

Frog loves to practice yoga. And he will inspire kids to enjoy doing yoga, too. Follow Frog’s yoga flow, from warming up to cooling down. Start with the mountain and chair poses, then work into giraffe, cat-cow, downward-facing dog, butterfly, and bridge. End with the quieting happy baby and savasana poses to help your muscles relax before going to bed or starting your day. For fans of Yoga Bunny and I Am Yoga, Yoga Frog‘s simple, meditative text is complemented by playful yet instructive illustrations by Mark Chambers to teach youngsters how to start their very own yoga practice — and to have fun while doing so, too.

  • "Carpenter briefly yet vividly describes how to perform each pose, along with its symbolism... Serene and bright background colors offer appealing contrast to Yoga Frog's green tone."
    Publishers Weekly
  • "A charmingly quirky addition to a child's yoga bookshelf."
    Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLDC)
