ROSEVILLE, Calif. - s4story -- For children's author and licensed marriage and family therapist, Jamie Chin, she didn't have to look far for inspiration for her heartfelt, comforting and empowering children's stories. She looked to her own children, as well as her young clients she has seen in the past decade as a therapist.

From working with children and teenage clients, Chin understands how powerful mindfulness can be for them. With her picture book Look for the Magic, she encourages young readers to slow down and live in the moment. Chin says, "In a fast-paced and sometimes chaotic world, today's youth are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety and attention issues. Kids can learn to calm down and self soothe when they use their senses to ground themselves to the present moment. Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is going on in the here and now–and it's powerful." With soothing rhymes and painterly illustrations, the story embodies the message of compassion for ourselves and others through gratitude, self-empowerment, and appreciating nature.
