PAPERBACK
Author: Lauren Hoffmeier
Illustrator: Ela Smietanka
Playful, reassuring, and full of rhythm, MULA AND THE SNOOTY MONKEY is a joyful picture book that helps children let go of self-consciousness and embrace who they are - through movement, mindfulness, and fun.
Svadi the monkey is very snooty. He spends all his time worrying about how he looks and what others might think of him. But when Mula the sleepy tiger and the mischievous little Fly return, things start to change.
As Svadi begins to listen to the beat of the jungle, he stops overthinking and starts feeling. With gentle yoga poses and mindful movement, Svadi loosens up, moves his hips, and sings the song that’s been inside his heart all along - no worrying required.
Written by Lauren Hoffmeier, this second book in the Mula and Friends series offers a warm, accessible introduction to yoga, self-expression, and emotional wellbeing. More reasons why young readers (and adults) would love this on their bookshelf:
- Simple yoga poses that encourage movement and body confidence
- Bright, friendly illustrations full of personality
- A reassuring message about letting go of others’ opinions
- Perfect for storytime, movement breaks, and wellbeing sessions
Ideal for helping children relax, move freely, and feel comfortable being themselves, Mula and the Snooty Monkey reminds readers that joy begins when we stop worrying - and start listening to our hearts.
