The Adventure’s of Wilbur-James & Mary -
The Mindful Walk
Written by Harriet Beth Carr, The Mindful Walk is a mindful adventure through a lively forest, joined by the lovable pups Wilbur-James & Mary - Harriet’s real life dogs! The story invites children to develop and practice mindfulness skills, introducing them to the powerful mindfulness technique sensory awareness - which has found to improve focus, reduce stress and anxiety, enhance creativity and boost overall well-being (and that’s just a few of the benefits!).
Brought to life by the gorgeous illustrations of Caoimhe Hennessy, children follow Wilbur-James and Mary though their sensory walk in the forest and practice spotting the different sounds, smells, sights, and sensations on the pages that they come across along the way. This facilitates paper to real life practice through an engaging and playful approach - using the accompanying companion pad - and equips children with the skills they need to mindfully connect to their environment and planet around them.
The Mindful Walk has been tried and tested in a wide scope of environments - including family homes, schools, nurseries, forest schools and children’s centres - and the feedback has been wonderful. Wilbur-James and Mary have even paid some schools a special visit in real life and joined the students on a real life mindful walk!
