GOOM’S MEDITATION
Discover the Magic Within with Goom's Meditation:
Why This Story Matters Now
Children are living through an unprecedented mental‑health crisis. Research shows that mindfulness practices can improve social‑emotional skills, raise academic achievement by 11 %, and reduce misbehavior and mental‑health problems by about 10 %. Another study found that children with higher levels of mindfulness reported less stress, anxiety, depression and negative emotions; mindfulness even buffered the link between pandemic stress and negative affect. In other words, mindfulness isn’t a buzzword, it’s a brain‑changer.
Yet most children’s books don’t teach kids how to find peace within themselves. Goom Finds His Happy Place fills that gap. Through Goom’s journey and a practical exercise at the end, young readers (and their grown‑ups) learn how to turn inward, breathe, and rediscover their own “happy place.”
Key Features:
• Beautiful, full‑color illustrations and a relatable character kids will love.
• A mindfulness exercise embedded in the story, helping children and caregivers practice together.
• Authoritative voice: Veronica Moya has taught thousands of kids meditation and intuition, making this book much more than a bedtime story.
• Perfect for parents, teachers, librarians and mental‑health professionals searching for practical, kid‑friendly resources.
