The Happiest Tree
by Uma Krishnaswami
I really like this book. It's about a little girl, of Indian heritage, but living in the U.S. who learns yoga to cope with stressful situations. I like that her parents are supportive and kind. I like that she learns how to breathe and calm herself down when the other kids get frustrated with her, a lesson that I have had trouble learning as an adult. I like that she's not perfect (she's clumsy and reluctant to participate in the school play). I like that my own daughter has expressed interest in yoga, and has participated in it with her dada (grandfather), partly because we read this book.
