The centuries-old contemplative movement practice known as yoga is more than just a passing trend; it can offer physical, emotional, and mental benefits to practitioners of all ages, including young children.

This new book from accomplished library trainer Scherrer shows how to use yoga and movement to create playful, active storytimes.
