Loved it! 😍
While I wasn't overly impressed with the illustrations, the story made excellent points and should be shared with all children.
This is the story of an orange ladybug with a joyful personality who overpowers a bully with kindness.
Leah finds a friend in an unusual creature and they have the best time playing together. But one day someone stops her on her way home and acts unkindly. When this happens, she practices mindful breathing by thinking of her breath - a trick that her good friend had just taught her.
Still shaken from the experience, she decides to speak to her friend about what happened and following her advice, she opens up to her parents too.
And so, with the support of the people she trusts, Leah's journey to The Red Mountain Peak begins. A journey that teaches her to stand up for herself.
"Is your little one transitioning towards being a balanced, calm being, but could use a little bit of help with regulating their emotions? Or perhaps they had a challenging time with someone who said or acted in an unkind way? This anti-bullying story carves the path of kindness towards conflict resolution."
Leah Travels to The Red Mountain Peak: A Book on Mindfulness, Speaking Up and Letting Go, written and illustrated by A. S. Tudo, is designed with children 4-12 years in mind. The illustrations appear to have been drawn by a child. I'm not sure if this design was intended, but I think they will appeal to 2 to 4-year-olds. However, 10 to 12 years olds might consider them and the storyline childish since their taste starts to involve more complex designs and longer page counts at this age. Leah Travels to The Red Mountain Peak: A Book on Mindfulness, Speaking Up and Letting Go was a cute story that I'm sure many children will select to read daily during story time.
The Land of the Seven Hilltops and a Mountain are waking up, and every bug is hard at work except Leah, the ladybug. The other bugs were not so nice to Leah and made her cry. They said rude things to her and hurt her feelings. This behavior will strike a chord with many children and opens the door to discussing bullying and the effects of not treating others with kindness. Ersa, the dewdrop, will teach children what to do if and when they are bullied. This story also points out that everyone, including parents, makes mistakes, so communication is an excellent first step in handling issues.
While I wasn't overly impressed with the illustrations, the story made excellent points and should be shared with children, even those not currently being bullied.

I've been constructing reviews for over a decade and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Most of the reviews will be featured on my blog (Kam's Place), Pinterest, Instagram, BlueSky, and Goodreads. Don't forget to tip your waitress! :D
