A visually stunning, thoughtful and calming bedtime tale, featuring tried-and-tested mindfulness techniques. “Watch the boat, Chandan, it floats on the ocean.

Luckily, his mum has some calming mindfulness techniqueS at her fingertips.
The bedtime boat sits on Chandan’s tummy, rising and falling with his breath.
