Welcome! I am Michelle and the author of a children’s book called Animal Magic: A Yoga Tale of Love and Unity. I wrote Animal Magic with the intention to inspire children to focus on their own social emotional wellness with the help of our Animal friends.

Animal Magic:  A Yoga-Tale of Love and Unity is a fictional rhyming children's book.  This enchanted tale is about a group of children who gain social emotional lessons gleaned from the wisdom of the animals. 

When they do the magical yoga pose, they integrate the animal wisdom and the understanding that individual expression and empowerment is the key to collective harmony and unity.  As each child becomes a more authentic expression of themselves, they unite and become empowered.  This is where they find true joy and freedom!  They gain the understanding that they always had the power all along. Shopping on this site is currently not available, but you can find the book on Amazon. https://a.co/d/jg510Uk

“Perfect Yoga Book for Animal Loving Kiddos!”

“Oh how much we love this book! We’ve been on a lookout for a Yoga Inspired children’s book for a while now. The Animal Magic is perfect! The author clearly has a good knowledge of yoga, and a good ability to write kid friendly rhymes, to make this easily readable for all. The illustrations are phenomenal, my kids couldn’t stop talking about the animals and all the poses. We’ve been reading this 5 nights in a row now trying all the poses on each page. Absolutely recommend!!!”

Lessons from the Natural World…

Lessons From the Lion

Our children often come to school with feelings of insecurity and a lack of confidence. They feel they are not good enough at certain subjects and often can’t express who they truly are. The Lion is an excellent teacher from the animal kingdom about having confidence, shining bright, and having healthy boundaries. The Lion is the king of the jungle and the animals don’t question this authority. If we could be more like the Lion, we too, could shine bright without much concern of what people might think of us. Sometimes, we need to use our Lion roar to set clear boundaries. This is occasionally necessary. However, in Animal Magic Book, the lion also teaches us that it is courage that leads us to be the most authentic version of ourselves. Courage to shine, courage to be unique, courage to be authentic! The character Amari is transformed! This animal teacher demonstrates that we can all find the inner courage to be more confident and empowered. This is the Magic of the Lion! Here I also share “my why.” I share my inspiration for writing the book!
