Peter the cow is having a BAD day. After missing the bus and wiping out on his bike he loses his temper and gets in trouble. And to make matters worse all the other kids are teasing him, calling him Moody Cow. Peter's day just seems to get worse until his grandfather comes over and teaches him how to settle his mind and let go of his frustration through a simple and fun exercise. This vibrant and funny children's book is a playful and hilarious way to introduce children to the power of meditation. With full color illustrations by the author Moody Cow Meditates is a wonderful book for parents and children to share together.

Praise & Reviews "Teaching children to meditate might be as easy as herding any other group of frisky critters. Moody Cow Meditates fills a distinct void in kid literature."—Publishers Weekly "Peter the Cow's Grandfather is a great bull with enormous horns—and meditation tips, which moody cows both on and off the page will want to try. This is Maclean's best book to date. The illustrations are truly charming."—Shambhala Sun "All children, like adults, have moody cow days. This salty, satisfying, and clever book points to meditation as an effective tool for dealing with anger."—Spirituality and Practice “Yes, this is a picture book for kids, but this adult reviewer, who has her own ‘moody cow’ days, believe me, was enchanted by this original and effective meditation teaching tool. Similar in story line to Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst, it works by alerting children to their grumpiness, with a lovely lilt to the language, and concludes with a practical activity to help children settle their minds. Hopefully, the day is not that far off when meditation will be practiced more widely in homes and schools. A book like this could easily be incorporated into curriculum guidelines.”—Mandala Magazine
