Meditation is an Open Sky is an excellent book to use to share with children how they can openly express their feelings.  I have been taking a conscious discipline training class and this just so goes along with it.  I'm going to use this book as a resource tool in my classroom.   Each page is packed with good tools to use with children teaching them how to handle their feelings and emotions.  Excellent.
