Giggles and Joy<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Giggles and Joy: Spiritual Life Lessons for Kids<\/a> is the first book in the Giggles and Joy series. It features 8 poems on topics of \u201c<\/span>k<\/span>indness, <\/span>g<\/span>ratitude, having a bad day, home, prayer, planet Earth, self-belief and the physical body\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favorite features is that even though Giggles and Joy talks about prayer, it <\/span>is<\/span> in a universal way, that does not align prayer with a certain religion. For a home like mine, where I\u2019m Pagan, my mother is Christian, and my son is undecided, this is a perfect fit. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Planet Earth is one of my son\u2019s favorites. He loves saying \u201cthank you\u201d to <\/span>our <\/span>planet Earth. He also enjoys the illustrations that accompany not only planet Earth but all of the poems in Giggles and Joy. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You Are Loved<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You are Loved: Spiritual Life Lessons for Kids<\/a> is the second book in the Giggles and Joy series. It also features 8 poems. Th<\/span>ese<\/span> poems cover \u201clove, navigating change, this beautiful life, courage, grown-ups, self-confidence, and adventure\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Picking a favorite from this series is <\/span>difficult<\/span>. The poems are beautifully written in terms that are easy for children of all ages to understand. I will say that \u201cThe Moon Loves You\u201d and \u201cChange\u201d are two of <\/span>our<\/span> most read poems. My son has always had a special attachment to the moon so this one gets read almost nightly. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Change quickly bec<\/span>a<\/span>me one of our <\/span>other<\/span> most read poems <\/span>w<\/span>hen we had a situation shake up the home. It was nice to have a poem that could be read to my son <\/span>to help him.<\/span> It taught him that change can be scary, but change can also be fun and exciting. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Being You<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being You: Spiritual Life Lessons for Kids<\/a> is the final book in the Giggles and Joy series. The topics for these last 8 poems are \u201cwhat many kids are facing in the world today, what is true self-worth and how to nurture it, the importance of telling the truth, how to feel safe inside oneself, the magical effect of deep breathing and the adventure of being free to really be yourself\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTake a Deep Breath\u201d is one of my son\u2019s favorite poems from Being You. It incorporated the deep breathing technique that he learned in school. It also has illustrations of dragons, which is his favorite <\/span>beast<\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All in all, I give the Giggles and Joy series a double thumbs up. By far, one of my favorite poem series for children. If you are looking for a positive series full of lessons, look no <\/span>further<\/span>. Th<\/span>ese<\/span> poems are fun to read and listen to no matter the age. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
