In When Mama Grows with Me, a mama and her son create their own garden, starting with just a few small seeds and ending with a beautiful display of flowers. They observe how pollinators help the earth stay healthy, learn how to care for plants, and meet other critters that live in their garden, all while playfully shaping their bodies into yoga poses inspired by nature. Not only do Mama and her son learn valuable lessons about their garden, but along the way, they also learn to practice patience.
By pairing lessons with movement, Rebecca Wheeler helps young readers make connections between the natural world and their own emotional experiences. Learn the value of patience and practice some fun yoga poses in this beautifully illustrated children’s book.
Includes a step-by-step guide to each yoga pose!
“I really loved reading When Mama Grows with Me, a brightly colored picture book full of beautiful illustrations and wonderful lessons for little ones. There is so much to be learned from nature, and Rebecca Wheeler shares many interesting facts through a loving story of a child gardening with Mama. Along the way, there are also excellent lessons on emotional health as well as relaxation techniques learned through fun yoga poses. In a world where children have so much screen time every day, a book like this one is extremely valuable and important as it encourages outside time, a love of beauty and nature, and spending time with family. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves and interacts with children!”
—Stacey Bartlett, author of Free Sings the Sea
“Rebecca Wheeler's When Mama Grows with Me is a thought-provoking story about character growth in combination with growth in the garden. This beautiful story will help a child to understand the delicate balance of nature as it correlates to the delicate balance of inner growth in little minds. The lovely illustrations by Katherine Jordan bring this story to life through her artful beauty of nature. This is a fun read for children and adults.”
