Frog’s Breathtaking Speech is a gorgeous book for children – and teachers, and parents – to help them cope with tension and stress.

Michael Chissick is a children’s yoga teacher and Sarah Peacock is a primary school teacher and they have both found the frog’s story very useful when helping children to relax.

This beautifully illustrated story is about a frog who is very sad because he is worried about a speech he has to give at school the next day.  When he explains this to his friends, they all tell him about their own special ways of breathing which release tension and anger and enable them to feel happy and relaxed.

At the beginning of the book there is guidance for teachers on how best to use these techniques to help children and at the end there are simple instructions, accompanied by lovely illustrations, about the yoga postures which accompany each type of breathing.

    That’s a classic in the making! Thanks for sharing. I know a couple of students who can use that (and their teacher!).

    As the mother of a somewhat anxious child, I appreciate books like this that encourage using breath to relieve stress. Thanks!

    It looks and sounds delightful. Talking of frogs, I’m very fond of the Frog and Toad series.

    1. Is that the one that teaches children how to safely cross the road? The rhyming story? Now I think about it I must do a review of that one 🙂

        1. Oh right, no I’m thinking of a different one, but Miranda just told me they are ‘learn to read’ books, I’ll have to look out for them 🙂

        They’re simple and charming. I haven’t read them all but I found the ones I did very engaging. Would love to know what you think.
