Parent-teacher resources are included.
Brief description: Known as "the book lady" for her practice of showing up with picture books to share, Judy Henry has taught child development, directed a campus pre-school, and written a parenting curriculum. Her positive experience teaching HeartMath's Quick Coherence Technique(R) to both children and adults inspired her to create a story featuring HeartMath's Shift and Shine Technique(R), the coherence process for young children. She hopes that Corey's Peaceful Heart will contribute to happier, more peaceful lives for young children, both at home and in their early childhood programs.
