Publishers Weekly
In a companion title to Good Night Yoga and Good Morning Yoga, pairs of peaceful, bright-eyed children from different ethnic backgrounds collaborate on yoga poses, in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings. In one scene, two sets of kids are "face to face/ and toes to toes" on a sandy beach. At a zoo, children sit back-to-back, mimicking a lizard "basking in the sun," as two other children perform a yoga imitation of a pink, sushi-eating octopus in a tank: "One small turn and we're an octopus/ swimming silently so as not to cause alarm./ We move slowly underneath the water, / arm after arm after arm." Hinder's cozy, cartoony pictures clearly demonstrate each yoga pose, while offering a celebration of teamwork and cooperation. Ages 4-8. (Apr.)

"Teachers and trained yogis will welcome the return of the diverse cast from Good Morning Yoga (2016) and Good Night Yoga (2015) to introduce playful partner yoga." —Kirkus Reviews "Don't let the playfulness of the illustrations and the simplicity of the narrative mislead you. This is serious yoga instruction, perfectly formatted for a very young audience." —Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing InsightMariam Gates
