Lafayette Elementary School, Washington DC
Thank you to all who came out to celebrate the launch of Peace of Mind’s newest book in the Henry and Friends Series, Sergio Sees the Good by Linda Ryden, published by Tilbury House Publishers. As Linda read the book, students helped to illustrate a gratitude practice we can all use to balance our brains’ tendencies to focus on the negative more than the positive. The real Sergio even made an appearance! Politics and Prose booksellers were on hand with hot-off-the-presses copies of Sergio that Linda signed for many. Thank you, Peace of Mind Community!
