From the author of Sid Smart Eating, that teaches children about the importance of eating healthy food, and Sid Smart Moving, that teaches children about the importance of living an active lifestyle, now there is Sid Smart Thinking. This beautifully illustrated book is a great story for children to learn about the importance of being mindful. Even the youngest children experience stress and learning about mindfulness in our technological age is now more important than ever. This picture book is for children in the primary or elementary age range and is particularly appealing to boys. Besides being a qualified and practicing teacher, the author also has qualification in health and fitness education. Inspired by the experiences gained whilst teaching in primary schools, Richard decided to put his creative energies into writing and illustrating children’s books. He felt there were some important lifestyle messages that he could share with children through the medium of entertaining and informative books. Having had a lifetime love of art, you will often find Richard sketching or painting, whilst listening to his favourite sports radio station. When he has not got a pencil or brush in his hand, he enjoys spending time with his family, exercising, and trying to teach his dog how to behave on the sofa!
