A HEARTWARMING CHILDREN'S STORY
When Addie visits her grandmother, the wise dog Maude teaches her something that no gadget ever could — the art of truly being here.
An Australian Shepherd with a gentle heart, Maude gently guides young readers toward mindfulness.
The scent of lavender, the calm of a screen-free afternoon, and the feeling of grass beneath your feet.
Discussion questions and mindfulness activities help bring the story beyond the page.
We are delighted to celebrate Dr. Pamela Cappetta, EdD, whose voice and expertise in mindfulness, kindness, and emotional well-being have been featured by Kindred Media, a respected platform dedicated to conscious parenting, childhood, family connection, and human development.
In her featured article, “The Grace of Noticing and Returning to Kindness,” Dr. Pamela offers a thoughtful and inspiring reflection on the practice of mindfulness and the transformative power of kindness in our everyday lives.
This feature is a wonderful recognition of Dr. Pamela’s decades of dedication to helping children, families, and communities cultivate greater calm, connection, and compassion—and beautifully reflects the heart of her book, Mindful Moments with Maude.
