About this listen

Meet Emma Lou, the Yorkie Poo - a little dog with big worries. She loves playing with her best friend, Pearl, but Pearl doesn't always pay attention to Emma Lou's worries. With the help of some new friends, Caleb the calico cat, Patrick the pig, and Gigi the ginormous giraffe, Emma Lou and Pearl begin to learn a new technique to calm their minds and bodies. Parents, educators, counselors - and especially children - can benefit from Emma Lou and her friends' curious adventure to a mindful experience.

Listeners will:

  • Learn how to handle worries
  • Learn a simple technique to practice mindfulness
  • Nurture emotional growth through experiencing a delightful adventure

"With excessive exposure to flashing, changing screens, children are having a hard time settling their brains. Their thinking is fragmented and their focus is fractured. In Emma Lou the Yorkie Poo: Breathing In The Calm, Kim Larkins cleverly and creatively invites children into an animal-friendly story line of learning how to calm themselves. Although Larkins addresses worry, Emma Lou is a valuable tool for releasing stress throughout the nervous system, induced from screen stimulation." (Holli Kenley, author of Power Down & Parent Up)

I got this audiobook via a promo code and this is my voluntary review.

My mother recently got a small yorkie for Christmas to keep her company and all her grandkids love him, so this story about a small dog with her big worries seemed like a good fit for story time. They really enjoyed the illustrations in the ebook, and we ended up with a fridge full of puppy pictures. I really enjoyed the underlaying messages about taking a deep breath and following mindfulness. A wonderful mental health message in these anxiety blood pressure rising times. The kids really loved the story and there were plenty of animal friends like Caleb the calico cat, Patrick the pig, and Gigi the ginormous giraffe to help fuel their imaginations.

Barbara Rich is a lovely narrator.

A great listen!
