One day, Odette the ant wakes up feeling stressed. After realizing that all she does is work, Odette decides to leave her anthill in search of the freedom to create her own world. Along the way, she meets Marcus, a lost mouse, and together they discover simple ways to feel better. Inspired by her journey and this wonderful new friendship, Odette finds her way back home to the colony with a new sense of being.
Odette’s Alphabet is a mindful story that offers a map to handle big emotions with kindness, unity, and courage. Fun and easy activities support each of the chapters, along with letters of the alphabet to provide additional opportunities for learning while encouraging young readers to explore meditation practices.
My Review
A wonderful journey through the alphabet and mindfulness. I think everyone, not just kids can appreciate and implement each letter in their lives. I enjoyed the friendship of Odette an Marcus – totally different from each other but become the best of friends. Each page continues the story as well as giving exercises in breathing techniques. After reading this story I felt a sense of calm that I haven’t felt in a very long time. The color palette used just added to the story. Overall a great book!
