A playful, zoomies-filled fun…
Martin’s lively book blends movement, mindfulness, and family fun through the joyful chaos of a zoomie-prone dog and her curious human, Zoey. When Mom begins her backyard yoga session, Zoey and Lexi are all energy and motion. But Zoey’s questions soon alter the mood, as Mom introduces calming poses like cat, puppy, and tree. Lexi adds her own flair—sniffing heads, flopping mid-pose, and treating everything like playtime.
Martin’s narration is light and inviting, while Lexi’s inner thoughts add humor and heart: “It doesn’t matter how ridiculous I look. It’s about how I feel.” The yoga poses chosen; lotus, cat, puppy, tree, happy baby, are all child-friendly and familiar to those introducing mindfulness to children. Rather than prescribing how to move, the book models curiosity, joy, and acceptance—whether you’re a kid or a coonhound. A closing note from Lexi seals the message: even zoomy pups can learn to breathe and slow down.
A playful, calming, and funny first look at yoga—for kids, pets, and everyone in between.
