Praise for My Thoughts Are Clouds
“In today’s Covid-rattled frenzy of online or hybrid instruction and added strictures on behavior, Heard’s gentle call for mindfulness offers young readers a window into a reflective realm typically reserved for adults. Here Heard provides the tools for achieving inner peace in 30 mostly free-verse poems accompanied by winsome illustrations by Roxas. . . .
Therapeutic and accessible: an empowering guide well suited for those growing up in this age of anxiety.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This short collection of poems aims to teach children how to slow down and be aware of their thoughts and environment . . . A good read-aloud option for a classroom or library to teach guided mindfulness or meditation exercises.” —School Library Journal
