Maya's Lungs

Before kids can understand their emotions or modify their arousal level to match a situation, they must first be attuned to their own body signals. Recognizing changes in our breathing rate and lungs can give us insight into our regulation and emotions. In this interactive children's book, Maya learns to recognize and understand how her lungs and breathing rate change depending on what she is doing or feeling.

This book is geared toward young children and their caregivers. It is also a great resource for preschool teachers, elementary school teachers, early intervention specialists, occupational therapists, mental health therapists, and anyone interested in helping young children learn to be more self-aware and ultimated self-regulated.
