Editorial Reviews:
★★★★★
Yogi Superheroes are beings of “love and light.” Their yoga movements make them one with nature and let them appreciate stillness and inner quiet. Sometimes, their minds are too busy with thoughts and negative emotions to fully relax and feel inner peace. At those times, there are special breathing exercises that help restore tranquillity. The Yogi Superhero Series is most highly recommended.

A Delightful Read for Families Looking to Connect with Nature and Find Inner Peace!
A wonderfully written book with vibrant illustrations that is sure to delight families looking to connect to nature and inner peace through yoga. What I enjoyed most about reading this book with my children is the empowering language that is used throughout, and the strong visual connections drawn between the yoga poses and the woodland animals.

The Magic of Kindness written and illustrated so beautifully, it’s a meditation not a book
The phrase “Yogi superhero” is very catchy and my yoga kids were immediately drawn it. The book has a gentle rhythmic flow through beautiful words and lovely illustrations that makes it easier for kids to relax and enter into the story. The poses are appropriate to the story and not forced in it fit. I highly recommend and am looking forward to other books by Anna for my yoga classes!!
Yogi Superhero Adventures in Nature – Forest Review: Mansi B. – Amazon customer
This is a lovely book. Tree Full of Wonder has a wonderful presentation and the light effects in each image give a very comfortable feeling. On most of the pages, there is an almost magical autumnal atmosphere. At the end of the book comes a section on how to recognize trees by their shape, color, and type of leaf. It also includes a section with tips to help trees, assist ecology, as well as recycle. I liked the way Anna Smithers promotes interest in children to care for the environment with a book that is entertaining and makes a great educational contribution. It is an excellent way to expand youngsters’ ecological knowledge and teach children that trees are our companions.
