About the Book

Now in paperback, the story of an Asian-American girl who grows in confidence when she learns to practice yoga and applies the underlying principles to her performance in a school play. The Happiest Tree is an empowering and uplifting story as well as a great way of introducing children to yoga, a practice which is becoming increasingly popular for children due to its positive impact on their health and well-being and therapeutic effects on hyperactivity, ADD/ADHD and autism.

About the Author :
Uma Krishnaswami was born in India and now lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Her novel, Step Up to the Plate, Maria Singh, won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature. Uma has been nominated twice for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. She teaches in the MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts. Visit her online at umakrishnaswami.com. Ruth Jeyaveeran is the author and illustrator of The Road to Mumbai, praised by School Library Journal as a "lively romp across India." Much of Jeyaveeran's fine art and illustration work is inspired by her South Asian heritage, so she felt an immediate connection to this story. Jeyaveeran lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Review :
"An excellent addition to any collection." -- School Library Journal "[The] balanced compositions and bright colors nicely echo the warm, encouraging story about overcoming challenges, while the well-integrated details of Meena's Indian culture, including a few terms, are rare and welcome in books for this age group." -- Booklist "Youngsters often struggling to keep their little bodies from wriggling, their attention from drifting, will be comforted to know that they are not unique and that something as basic as breathing and yoga incorporated into a kid's life can be a practical solution." -- Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Books of the Year - Bank Street College of Education CCBC Choices - Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
