Don't Be Grumpy, Monkey!: Yoga to make you smile: 2 (Happy Panda Children's Yoga Books)

Monkey is having a bad day. He couldn’t find his teddy, the swings were busy, and now Dog is in his place in yoga class. Monkey does not want to do yoga, and he does not want to work with Dog. Monkey is grumpy!... But then, something magical happens. Happy Panda suggests a special song, Sa Ta Na Ma. The gentle singing and chanting shifts Monkey’s grumpy mood making him feel calmer and more centred. Yoga is the best but making up with friends is even better!
An entertaining and humorous story about yoga, friendship and mindfulness.
‘Don’t Be Grumpy, Monkey!’ is the second book in the series and features Sa Ta Na Ma meditation and chanting.
Children can join in singing and chanting the Sa Ta Na Ma meditation at home (just scan the QR code in the book).
