Kevin the Kelpie Learns to Recharge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764578301)

Kevin the Kelpie is a young working dog who wants to do his job well.

But after long days running across the paddocks and worrying about all the jobs he needs to get done, he feels tired and worn out.

Luckily, Kevin has a wise and peaceful friend: Trix, an older dog who was once a champion working dog.

Trix shares a special secret she discovered years ago - even while we are busy, there are small feelings of rest and relaxation in the body that we can learn to notice.

As Kevin begins to practise this simple skill, he discovers how to recharge himself while he works.

Slowly, he starts to feel calmer, more balanced, and more aware and appreciative of the world around him.

Set in the Australian countryside, Kevin the Kelpie Learns to Recharge is a warm and engaging story that introduces children to a practical mindfulness technique they can use in everyday life.

At the end of the story, readers are invited to try the same exercise Kevin learns - helping children discover how to notice relaxing feelings in their own bodies and find moments of calm throughout the day.

This story is part of the Oscar the Mindful Crocodile series, which introduces simple attention skills through gentle stories and guided practices.
