Monkey Mind is an enchanting, uplifting story that follows young Bai who learns how to find balance and emotional control.

By using simple mindfulness-based strategies like pausing, slowing down, and taking deep breaths, Bai is able to gain clarity and focus his mind. The narrative also provides an opportunity for adults to openly discuss mental health with children, normalizing anxiety and teaching them how to regulate their emotions.Monkey Mind was created and written as a conduit to help children understand and address their anxiety. The goal is twofold: to inspire parents to discuss anxiety with their kids, and to normalize and break the stigma of anxiety for children.

Till the Lion Returns
How can young children learn the value of work, integrity, and entrepreneurship? I asked myself that question when my daughter was three years old. I've seen the importance of these principles in my life as an adult, and I wanted to help her absorb them even at her young age. That's where the idea of this story, which is based on the famous "Parable of the Talents" that Jesus once told, was born. It's a story that embraces and expresses financial concepts and the value of work. Till the Lion Returns is a sweet, amusing tale that illustrates the positive results of applying these concepts and values as well as the negative consequences of not doing so. It covers topics of leadership, responsibility, work, observation, patience, and accountability in a natural, approachable way, and it will spark a dialogue that allows parents and children to learn together. -Carlos Enrique Garza, author
