review for children's book, "Breathing is my Super Power"

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

The beginning of the book introduces us to Sofia and her unicorn Bee. Both are 7 years old!

There are some situations that Sofia finds herself experiencing different emotions. Feeling afraid at night or feeling angry in school when other kids don't play with her.

The five breathing exercise is explained in the book that Sofia's mom teaches her, using her hand opened up like a star.

I love how Sofia claims success with her breathing, saying breathing is my super power!!

I am a psych nurse and breathing in and out, calms the body physiologically. It is such a simple skill to teach children!! I need to do it sometimes too!

The artwork is very nice in this book. The book focuses on breathing while tracing your hand that Sofia's mom teaches her to breathe in and out going around each finger and thumb.

There are bonus breathing exercises in the back of the book that can be helpful too. They are very creative exercises to do but simple for a child!!

I like books that teach positive skills for children. i would highly recommend this book!

I like this book a lot. I have been reading it to my students and they love it! Author describes some difficult situations from (I believe) every kid's life and gives advice and techniques how to deal with them. Now I want to get all the books from that series.

Love this book and the message but definite grammar issues

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

LOVE the message of this book for my five year old who needs some help regulating. As a grammar stickler, it definitely bothers me that it says stamping your feet not stomping, aqua park and also tries to rhyme food with good at one point. Not to mention it says Five Breathing exercise which makes no grammatical sense. Other than that the illustrations and message are great but it does make me cringe when I get to those points. I am seriously surprised an editor didn't catch that...

Superpowers for Kids!

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020

I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

I read Kindness is My Superpower by Alicia Ortego and thought it was a good book for children to learn the importance of kindness towards others. So, when she asked me to review this book, I was happy to.

Breathing is My Superpower is another “Superpower” book that can aid parents to teach children how to be good to themselves and those around them. Sofia learns a breathing exercise from her mom, and she tries it several times: when she’s angry, upset, or feeling rejected. It works!

This is a sweet book that has colorful pictures and is told in rhymes. In fact, the rhyming words are bolded at the end of each line. In the story, one breathing exercise is taught to Sofia, but at the end of the book, there are several other breathing exercises to try.

This is a wonderful way for children to learn about handling emotions and stressful situations. It would be a great addition to family and school libraries.

My daughter ,24, contracted Covid and was hospitalized for it. She is still healing but at home now. Mouth Breathing and shallow breathing were issues on and off supplemental oxygen. Read this book to her and my husband. We got a kick out of it but also learned several breathing techniques to implement during stressful moments. We even discussed which breathing exercise from the back of the book that we liked more and less and why. Great feedback and discussion. We even remind each other about our superpowers to this day.

Breathing is my Superpower ~ My Superpower ~ Book 2

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

'Breathing is My Superpower' is an exceptionally good book to read and discuss with young children. It gives young children a breathing exercise using their hand, pretending it is a star and how to use it to breathe in and out to find calm when they are upset. It was fun to read it and stop to let the group use their fingers to breathe in and breathe out and find how calm it makes them feel. It gives several other ways to have children do this with a figure eight and a square. A book that can be read and them have the children interact is a great favorite of preschool age children because it is fun for them and empowering.

It’s good but…

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

It’s good but it gives examples (and out the idea in their head) of things to be afraid of, like monsters under the bed. My kid doesn’t know about that or has considered some other situations. That’s the only downside. The breathing technique itself that it teaches is good.

Nice BUT ...stop the negative language

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

I nice book that will help you and your child acknowledge feelings and calm down with breathing exercises.

The only thing I really dislike about this book is the beginning of the story. Writers should be more mindful of the language they use in their books for children. “Afraid to sleep with the lights off because some dreams have with monsters with teeth”?
It’s very negative language, putting fear into children. There’s million other reasons to choose from for a child to be upset about.

I personally will be sticking these two pages together and not read them. Otherwise the rest of the story is nice.

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2021

The breathing strategies were good in this book but I could not use this book and sent back, because it gave a really psychologically unhealthy message to children to use breathing to get them to eat something they did not like.!

Some good some bad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

The concept of the book is good, teaching breathing techniques to try and regulate emotions but there are a few flaws:
*The rhyming often feels very clunky and doesn't work unless you force it.
*The choice of language is sometimes off..... The girl is asked to read some work out in class and she feels SHAME. That's a really strong word, and may put the notion in their heads that kids should feel shame in this scenario... Nervousness, embarrassment maybe, but not shame.
*Finally, I don't like the fact it says she is scared as monsters with sharp teeth live under her bed in the dark..... You don't want to plant that thought into a kids head right as you're trying to get them off to sleep!

All in all its an okay book. The premis is good but the execution needs some tweaks.
