About the Author:

Martina Selway was born in Worcestershire and educated at a variety of boarding schools followed by Shrewsbury School of Art. After completing her studies she moved to London and did numerous jobs, including working for a photographer, an advertising agency as an illustrator and for the BBC on children's television. Martina splits her time between her homes in Surrey and France. Rebecca Whitford has been practicing Yoga for six years and is a BWY Yoga teacher. The mother of three young children, Rebecca has a Philosophy Degree, spent many years at the BBC and has extensive experience of working with children. The idea of Little Yoga, Rebecca's first book, evolved from her daughter, Scarlett when she started trying to join in while Rebecca was doing Yoga.

From School Library Journal:

PreS–Toddlers can move along with the playful illustrations and simple poses introduced in this book. Each colorful spread shows a child in a yoga pose on one side, while the opposing page pictures the animal the position is supposed to reflect. For example, the first spread shows, Yoga Baby in the flying eagle pose, and the facing page reads, spreads his arms like a butterfly. While a butterfly is depicted rather than an eagle, the idea is conveyed and the other poses are fairly straightforward. Youngsters are shown hanging down like a monkey (forward bend), breathing like a lion (lion breath), etc. The brightly hued backgrounds of blue, pink, purple, and yellow, combined with the large cartoon artwork, are pleasing to the eye. A note to adults offers some practice tips, and there is also a brief explanation of the poses. Yoga is all the rage, and this picture book will be popular where books on the topic are in demand.–DeAnn Tabuchi, San Anselmo Public Library, CA
