I Can Be

Welcome! I am so excited to share Q & J Bird Press’s first book, I Can Be: A Child’s Whimsical Introduction to Yoga, with you.

This book has been a true labor of love for me over the last year, and it has its roots deep within the story of my family. I wrote this book for my nephew quite a few years ago. My love for him and his love for animals inspired me, and I came up with the idea and text for this book in a matter of seconds while driving one day. I truly feel it was a gift from God. Interestingly enough, it would take me quite a few years to figure out what I needed to do with this gift.

Since my first son was born almost three years ago, I have been teaching him the postures and movements in this book. Of course, like all children, he was a natural at yoga. When he was 14 months, we were invited by our friend to a local high school to teach their preschoolers yoga. My son really got involved with teaching the kids. He was even my demonstrator for downward dog!

We continue to start each of our mornings by reading the book and practicing the stretches. It is a great way to start your day and bond with your child!I look forward telling you more about our journey, but that will have to be another day!
