ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sandrine Marlier woke up one day in her New York apartment feeling out of sorts. She realized that no matter how many trips she would take around the world, thanks to her modeling career, only a journey within could bring her peace. Eventually, she trained with world-renowned meditation teacher davidji. That training inspired this book, as she found herself drawing an ant and a sound: A, the beginning of all beginnings. Sandrine is a mother, meditation teacher, transformational coach, and Reiki practitioner. She shares free meditations about healing and empowerment on Instagram (@sandrinemarlier).

REVIEW
Odette's Alphabet shares the alphabet, along with mindful words that go along with the alphabet, and a story about big/emotions and how to practice meditation and stress relief. This book appeals to kids at multiple levels. You can read it to younger preschoolers by just saying the alphabet and the words that go along with it. It can also be read to/read by older children to help them learn about meditation and mindfulness. I could see this book being used at home, school, or in a counseling session to help kids learn about breathing techniques and how to regulate their stress. It's a useful book for kids to read and to understand that there are various techniques and positive ways to handle their emotions. The illustrations in this book are attractive and engaging. The color scheme seems to use colors that you would find in nature and invoke peace. Overall, I found this book to be interesting and an important tool that could be used to help children learn how to regulate their big emotions.
