Author: Lauren Hoffmeier

Calming, colourful, and full of gentle humour, Mula and the Chaotic Peacock is a joyful picture book that introduces mindfulness and yoga in a warm, accessible way for young readers.
Vishu the peacock has a very busy mind. Thoughts flutter everywhere, ideas overlap, and it’s hard for him to slow down long enough to share his story. Luckily, Mula the sleepy tiger and friends are there - along with a mischievous little Fly - ready to help.
Through simple movements and playful yoga poses, Vishu learns how focusing on his body can help calm his thoughts. As his breathing slows and his mind settles, Vishu discovers clarity, confidence, and the joy of being heard.
Written by Lauren Hoffmeier, this fifth book in the Mula and Friends series offers a gentle introduction to yoga and emotional regulation, supporting children’s wellbeing through storytelling and movement. More reasons why young readers (and adults) would love this on their bookshelf:
- Simple yoga poses woven naturally into the story
- Bright, friendly illustrations and expressive characters
- Encourages mindfulness, focus, and emotional awareness
- Perfect for calming moments at home or in the classroom
Ideal for story-time, wellbeing sessions, and winding down, Mula and the Chaotic Peacock helps children learn that slowing the body can help quiet the mind.
