As a career educator having the privilege of witnessing the growth of many young minds, I am elated to discover IGGI’s extraordinary mindfulness adventures and lessons. In this fast-paced world, it is easy to not hear the whispers within that guide us and teach us. Through the delightful characters of the Awareness Forest and the fun, meaningful adventures, IGGI offers children valuable tools to navigate their emotions and enhance their every journey. IGGI's inclusive approach extends its embrace to all children, including those with disabilities, fostering a sense of belonging and self-empowerment for every young heart. 

IGGI – Pause, Listen & Trust is an inspirational and colorful journey toward awareness of our instinctual positive voice, which is often ignored, and understanding its value. As a longtime psychotherapist, most of my work is helping my clients listen to their own “IGGI” and embrace the lesson IGGI introduces: Pause, Listen and Trust ourselves. 

IGGI – Pause, Listen & Trust is a provocative work for children to not only read but experience. IGGI gives kids an opportunity to read and sing about very important life skills: pausing, listening, and trusting their own gut instinct. The forest is magical, the characters are strong, the language is rich and fun, and the music is delightful. Having worked with foster youth and children with learning disabilities for over 30 years, I know kids can lose the power of imagination - this book holds a key to finding it again.
