WINNER, Moms Choice Awards for Excellence Gold Medal; SILVER WINNER, Moonbeam Childrens Book Awards, Best Childrens Book Series.

This exceptional bedtime story for ages 3 to 8 follows the adventures of Hug, a hero who got stuck as he was headed for the heart for which it was made. Will Hug navigate past The Web of Sticky Thoughts to deliver love and care to the one special heart for which it was intended? Wonderfully illustrated, this book, which is part of the Conscious Bedtime Story Club collection, is a sure-fire winner for parents seeking conscious parenting tools, as it helps kids to learn that sometimes it takes surrender for everything to get better. The book ends with Your Daily Hug Meter, a short set of questions to help children open to giving and receiving love, and the value of surrender as an antidote to Sticky Thoughts.

Conscious Bedtime Stories are a collection of stories with wise and lovable characters who teach core life values to your children. Each of the 12 Conscious Bedtime Story Club books invites its readers to engage in mindfulness practices, beginning with Snuggle Breathing, which helps parents and children alike to share an experience of relaxation, presence and connection to each other and to the story. Each story ends with reflective activities and exercises to help children assimilate the lessons the stories have presented. Because the last 20 minutes of each day are precious, these books use this important time to help children and parents grow consciously together in mind, body and spirit.

The last 20 minutes of every day are precious. The stories in the Conscious Stories Collection are intended to bring parent and child into deeper connection and spiritual union with each other.

They are fun, value-rich with simple breathing meditations and an activity page - all designed to help parent and child connect at bedtime.

Andrew Newman is an internationally-renowned and award-winning author and founder of Conscious Stories, a growing series of bedtime stories purpose-built to support parent-child connection in the last 20 minutes of the day. His early and profound longing for connection with all things spiritual later inspired a career in writing and communication in many forms, including healing work with Dr. Barbara Brennan, motivational speaking, counseling, and publishing over 2500 donated poems as the PoemCatcher, a work that later benefited the victims of the 2010 Haitian earthquake.

Andrew served as volunteer coordinator for Habitat for Humanity in multiple townships in South Africa, directed Edinburgh’s Festival of Spirituality and Peace, and has been actively involved since 2006 in the Mankind Project. He was an opening speaker for Deepak Chopra, a Tedx presenter in Findhorn, Scotland, an author-in-residence at the Bixby School in Boulder, Colorado, and a resident storyteller at the Conscious Discipline Elevate Conference, hosted by Dr. Becky Bailey.

Today he balances the worlds of entrepreneur and teacher, creating a healthy mission-aligned business that serves the world on a personal, local and global scale and supporting the essential goal of global oneness and Oneness consciousness. A recognized voice in the conscious parenting movement, his latest project, Conscious Stories, is a culmination of his background, experiences, and humanitarian efforts, and is intended to bring parent and child into deeper connection and spiritual union with each other.

Gorgeous and you'll never outgrow it!
I searched far and wide for a unique, creative, values-based, book for our daughter. After receiving this one, I was ecstatic to find it met and exceeded all of our expectations. Beautiful, high quality cover, binding, and pages. Creative and captivating illustrations. Deep message teaching compassion, mindfulness, unity, and connection - but not too long for our 2yo to grow bored. I absolutely love the snuggle breathing meditation and am excited that this book will grow with our daughter. Oh, and at the back there are stickers for sharing or decorating the night sky. Clearly the coolest thing ever for all ages. Will be buying the full series of Conscious Bedtime Stories for us and all our friends.

This is a beautifully illustrated story with a great message for kids and adults. I purchased for my 5 year old son and he’s totally engaged by the tale. I love that the book opens with a quick breathing exercise that’s simple and accessible for young kids. Such a great book to teach kids mindful coping strategies through stories!

I absolutely love this book. I read it with my nephew and niece and I have a copy of my own now too. With everything happening around us at the moment it's important that we all try and stay away from getting stuck in sticky thoughts and remember to breathe. A super cute book with great illustrations that can bring you back from the brink at whatever age.
