Early Years Bundles

This bundle includes the two titles in the All That You Are series, two finger puppets, and the Strong Nations Yoga Cards.

Anishinaabe teachings share that everything has a Spirit. Illustrate this with the monarch butterfly and eagle finger puppets, pairing them with the books in the All That You Are series to affirm You Are Sacred’s central message, demonstrate how all things are connected, and invite readers to be mindful of the world around them.

Bring these messages of kindness and self-awareness into a simple yoga practice with the Strong Nations Yoga Cards. Follow along with You Are the Land as you “take a deep breath and fill your lungs, then release it nice and slow,” grounding your practice with teachings of the Anishinaabe Medicine Wheel and a focus on the body, mind, and heart. Guide readers to replicate the poses on the Moon, Butterfly, Mountain, and Eagle yoga cards as you encounter each character in the books.

About the All That You Are Series
All That You Are is a series of heartwarming, affirmational picture books from author and illustrator Sarah-Anne Tourond.

Through lyrical text and watercolour illustrations, this series shares the teachings of the Anishinaabe Medicine Wheel to remind children of their connection to the world around them. Each book is inspired by one quadrant of the Medicine Wheel that represents an aspect of wellness—Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, or Mental. A diagram of the Medicine Wheel is included at the back of the books. Anishinaabe Connections are also included to share more about Anishinaabe art, culture, and traditions explored in the text and illustrations.

A percentage of proceeds from this series is donated to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society to support their efforts in advocacy for justice and healing. To find out more information, please visit https://www.irsss.ca/.

About the Strong Nations Yoga Cards
The word “yoga” is derived from Sanskrit and means to unite, to bring together, to connect. The Strong Nations Yoga Cards connect the ancient practice of yoga with Indigenous teachings. These cards honour our connection to each other, to nature, to spirit, and to this amazing planet we all share.

Handy, user-friendly, and fun, the Strong Nations Yoga Cards illustrate physical and reflective practices with adorable artwork by Bill Helin and Laura Timmermans. The endless combinations and versatility of these cards make them ideal for all levels and ages.
