MY PEACEFUL PLACE
My Peaceful Place, written by Natalie Nordlund and illustrated by Paige Rule (published by Orange Hat Publishing), introduces mindfulness to children in a relatable and engaging way. Through guided imagery, young readers learn to imagine their own special peaceful place to help them navigate big emotions.
Designed as both a story and a resource, the book supports caregivers, educators, mental health providers, and other child-serving professionals in starting and guiding important conversations about emotions and healthy coping skills from an early age.

Mi lugar de paz
Mi lugar de paz, a Spanish edition of My Peaceful Place, will be available soon on August 11!
This Spanish edition, published by Orange Hat Publishing, was made possible through collaboration with Amanda Stewart (bilingual educator and children’s book author), who translated the book, and Dr. Marisol Escobedo Carvajal (bilingual clinical psychologist), who provided consultation throughout the process. The project was further enriched by student voice, with peaceful place artwork created by students in the school district where Amanda teaches, alongside the children’s artwork featured in the original edition.
COMING SOON:
