What People Are Saying about Mindful Moments with Maude
"We currently live in a world of relentless change, uncertainty, pace and noise. Now more than ever, we need our next generation to be intentional in finding meaning in their moments. Pamela Cappetta has expertly integrated her vast experience in counseling and mindfulness with her deep affection for pets to create a touching story and effective teaching platform for children and parents. What better way to teach essential resilience skills than through the lens of a beloved pet during family story time? Through Maude's loving and open demeanor, we not only learn something that comes so natural to our furry friend, but we are drawn to experience our own mindful moment with Maude and our family. Simply brilliant.”

“Mindful Moments with Maude is a charming book for children (and possibly adults) that reminds the reader that they already have all they need to find happiness, ease, and a deeper connection to life. Maude, a talking Australian Shepherd, encourages and guides a little girl, and the reader, to experience mindfulness directly by paying open-hearted, closer attention in everyday life, thereby connecting more deeply with themselves, others, and the world around them. This gentle and friendly mindfulness approach will likely be welcome and useful to many!”
