The Dreams of The Penguins (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798995910008)

A bedtime story about taking care of the Foot, the Body, and the Soul.

When Baby Pax curls up to sleep on the Antarctic ice, the Penguin Family begins teaching him about the three areas of care that will shape him for the rest of his life: the Foot, the Body, and the Soul. Within each, the Penguin Family shares small lessons and gentle practices that, when learned young, can carry a child toward a long, healthy, and meaningful life.

The Dreams of the Penguins is a gentle, beautifully illustrated picture book about lifelong wellness for children, written by Sean Peng for his youngest son Benny, six years old at the time of publication. Through its original full-color artwork, families explore the foundations of a healthy life: movement, rest, breath, kindness, connection, awareness of the body, and the quiet practices that build resilience. Inspired in part by the principles in Dr. Peter Attia's Outlive, which argues that lifelong health is shaped by the small choices we make every day, and drawn from over fifteen years of experience providing quality self-care services to tens of thousands of families, this book brings those ideas into the world of a young child, where they can take root early and grow with them.

What's inside:

• A warm, dreamlike story children ask to hear again and again
• Three areas of care (Foot, Body, Soul) explored through many small, age-appropriate lessons
• Practices families can return to at bedtime, in the morning, or anytime a child needs a moment of calm
• Original illustrations by Luanda Guasch, inspired by a chance encounter on the Camino de Santiago
• The lovable Penguin Pax family characters, designed by Mariia Pundel
• A hardcover keepsake designed to live on the family bookshelf for years

From the team behind America's Family-Friendly Spa(TM)

The Dreams of the Penguins is the first children's book from Cloud 9 Foot Spa, an American wellness company that has been serving families since 2010. Across nine locations from coast to coast, Cloud 9 has welcomed children, parents, and grandparents into the same room, the same chairs, and the same gentle rituals of care for the Foot, the Body, and the Soul. This book brings those rituals home, so that families can share them at bedtime, in quiet morning moments, and in the small daily pauses that shape a child's whole life.

For parents who believe the foundations of lifelong health are planted in childhood.

A treasured gift for ages 3 to 10, new parents, grandparents, and any family that loves the quiet magic of bedtime stories.
