“This book’s is filled with beautiful words and insight to help us live our lives as strong, inspiring, mindful beings. It has sparked some good conversations with my 9 year old that lead to important life lessons and goals. It also made me as an adult, take a step back to think and redirect. Thanks Kayla for such a touching read.”

“Each poem in this book is full of healing and empowering words for both children and adults. I read one poem every night before my children go to sleep and ask them what their favorite line is. This book offers the validations that all of our souls long to hear.”

“In our current state, having a book like this for our girls will automatically make them think about what's in their best interest. It let's them know that their voices are important and should be heard. It establishes the sense of self worth that every little girl needs to know as early as possible. You are enough! Thank you for this thoughtful and loving book!”

“I absolutely adore this book. I bought it to read with my 11 and 5 year olds. It opens up deep discussions between us. The kids enjoy listening to the poems.”

“These magical poems speak the truth that your adult heart always knew but was taught not to believe. Kayla puts into words mantras which when spoken out loud give adults and kids a power over their bodies, lives and destinies. For kids, hearing these poems over and over again will give them a confidence to be the beautiful, diverse and kind adults they are all meant to become.”

“I heard a reading from this book on IG from someone I follow. It was incredibly touching and inspirational. Little did I know the every poem in the book would be just as amazing. There is no way to choose a favorite. I can't wait to pursue more of this authors writings. I know our family will treasure this book for many years. This would definitely make a wonderful gift for any age!”

“Though I ordered this book with my daughter in mind, I teared up as I began to flip through its pages. The poems convey some of the most important messages we aim to teach our kids (like the importance of boundaries, enduring pain, and listening to yourself) but they're reminders for us adults too. Each lesson is wrapped up in such beautiful cadence and illustrations - this book is a gift to both my daughter AND me. I highly recommend it.”

“This book is a fantastic return to truth for all ages!! I give it as gifts to lift other souls and send it to my clients to remind them of who they are! Kayla Floyd is an amazing teacher and spirit!! This book brings joy and it’s pretty!!! Thank you for sharing your gifts Kayla!”

“This book is exactly what our bedtime routine needed! My daughter has an active imagination and has gotten anxious about bedtime. The reassuring and rhythmic words in this book soothed her right away - she even began deep breaths as encouraged by the story, and pointing to the different parts of her body we were “relaxing to sleep.” Kayla Floyd has a knack for distilling complex mindfulness practices into simple (and beautiful) stories for kids. I love reading her books as much as my kiddos do! I highly recommend this for every mama’s bookshelf.”

“I love reading this book to my almost 4 year old and his big sister also loves reading it to him. The artwork is wonderful. I'm giving copies to all my young niece and nephews for Christmas.”

“Kayla is a spiritual and loving being who has created this book to show us all how to let go of our day and melt into our sleep time!! Love this!!”

“My 7 year old loves this book at bedtime. Such pretty rhymes and pictures. Helps him relax quickly.”
