Charming illustrations and step-by-step instructions take little ones through a simple sun salutation. Playful, descriptive language invites young children to pretend to be a puppy, moving their doggie bodies into specific yoga poses. Creatively integrated movement and breathwork provide strength-building gross motor practice as children engage in imaginary play. Created by experts in children’s yoga, the sequence of poses is safe for the youngest yogis.

ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS
Written by Tessa Strickland
Tessa Strickland was brought up in rural north England, the second of five children. She spent her childhood amid hens, horses and haystacks, and could often be found immersed in books or exploring the local woods and fields on her pony. A succession of interesting guests from around the world passed through her parents' house, kindling a lasting interest in other cultures. Tessa co-founded Barefoot Books with Nancy Traversy in the early 1990s, and has gone on to create many highly acclaimed children's books, including the numerous books she has written under her pseudonym, Stella Blackstone. She is also mother to three adult children, a yoga practitioner and a licensed psychotherapist. Tessa now lives and works in Somerset, southwest England.
