Natalie Grigson has raised more than $11,000 on Kickstarter for a children’s book on mindfulness entitled Just Call Me IS. The initial fundraising goal was set at $10,000. We’ve embedded a video about this project above.
Here’s more from the Kickstarter web page: “This book will introduce children to concepts that we, as adults, are becoming more and more familiar with. Things like meditation, presence, gratitude – all, of course, by way of a relatable (and, sure, somewhat snarky) guide, the reader’s Inner Self (IS). It is a story, it is a journal, it is a book of exercises and tools, and most of all, it is a guide to living in presence for young people.”
