Calm, encouraging, and full of gentle wisdom, MULA AND THE UNSURE ELEPHANT is a soothing picture book that helps young readers explore confidence, self-trust, and mindfulness through movement and story.
Mani the elephant feels unsure of herself. She looks to others for compliments and reassurance, hoping they’ll tell her who she is and what she’s good at. But with the help of Mula the sleepy tiger, the mischievous little Fly, and a few mindful yoga poses, Mani begins to slow down.
By taking big, deep breaths and listening quietly to her heart, Mani discovers something powerful: she already knows who she is — and she doesn’t need anyone else’s approval to feel confident.
Written by Lauren Hoffmeier, this third book in the Mula and Friends series offers a soft, age-appropriate introduction to yoga, breathing, and emotional awareness. More reasons why young readers (and adults) would love this on their bookshelf:
- Simple yoga poses and breathing exercises built into the story
- Warm, friendly illustrations that invite calm and focus
- Encourages self-confidence and inner reassurance
- Ideal for quiet time, wellbeing sessions, and classroom use
Perfect for helping children slow down and tune in to themselves, Mula and the Unsure Elephant gently reminds readers that confidence comes from within.
