Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Young yogis learn that to calm themselves, they must look to their inner rainbows. The book is a solid, easy-to-understand introduction, while Hatam's watercolorlike illustrations are bright as the rainbow and effectively depict the poses." --Kirkus Reviews "With exquisite illustrations and elegant, grounding prose, A Rainbow Inside My Body is the perfect antidote to our frenetic world." --I.W. Gregorio, award-winning author of This is My Brain in Love "Orange like a mango, yellow like a lemon, green like an avocado--an exploration of chakras as an invitation to find the strength and ease of each color of the rainbow we all contain." --Danielle Davis, author of To Make "A must for any child young or old." --Emily Fernandez, author of Pliny and Other Problems "Kottaras and Swaminathan provide an accesible and thorough guide for children not only to name their emotions, but to self regulate . . . Highly recommended for anyone who works with or cares for children!" --Akilah Brown, storyteller and professor of children's literature and creative writing "An excellent presentation for children on a topic as complex as chakras!" --Radha Janardhan; writer, translator, and professor
