A Boy And A Turtle Endorsements

  • What a beautiful book! A Boy and a Turtle is so very child friendly. It teaches in such a bright, colorful way HOW to relax your body. Both my children love to follow along relaxing each part of their bodies as they prepare to relax for bed. As a pediatric occupational therapist I have also used this book and its wonderful methods to teach relaxation to some of my clients and their families. GREAT!

  • I am a stress consultant and work with children frequently. A Boy and A Turtle is the easiest, most effective way I have found to help children relax. This is one more winner in the relaxation series created by Lori Lite. Her relaxation books and CD/Audio books all tell stories where the listener gets to follow along and implement proven relaxation technique with the characters. Kids love relaxing with the rainbow in the story. I am amazed at how children learn the technique of visualization without a lesson. This is an excellent way for children to manage stress, anxiety and fears. A Boy and a Turtle is destined to become a classic bedtime story that will be relaxing children through the next millennium.

  • This is a wonderful story to teach my ADHD daughter simple breathing exercises and visualization relaxation techniques in a simple and straight forward manner. She loves listening to A Boy and A Turtle every night before going to sleep.

  • I love the Indigo Dreams series. It has worked wonders for my son who is diagnosed with Asperger’s and ADHD. He sometimes suffers from nighttime anxiety and restlessness. This has led to many sleepless nights and many nightmares as he struggled to work out the day’s events. Since turning him on to Indigo Dreams he is sleeping sound and falling asleep relaxed. He likes A Boy and the Turtle the best and loves the rainbow imagery. We listen together and he is almost always asleep before the end of the CD! Wonderful and highly recommended!

  • A Boy and a Turtle is a wonderful addition to our bedtime routine. My kids love the rainbow and the fact they are just tickled that turtle is copying the boy as they learn to relax. My son said that the colors make him feel happy and my daughter wants to read it again. I personally feel my own stress levels drop as I read the story to them. The author takes a difficult concept (visualizing or imagining) and makes it simple. I have even reminded them to copy the turtle when we are in the car and things are getting loud. It works. Great stress management tool.

  • I bought A Boy and A Turtle based upon my 7 year old son having a lot of anxiety issues with school related issues. I read this book to him the first night, and I have not been able to put it down since. EVERY night around bedtime he asks me to read him his relaxation book. He goes through the motions of closing his eyes, and really trying to relax. After about 1 week of reading it to him, he can start relaxing on his own.

  • The combination of breathing exercises and visualization of colors provides an effective and creative way to explore relaxation with your child. A Boy and a Turtle is an excellent resource when working with children. – Dr. DiNatale, School Psychologist
  • A Boy and a Turtle is an easy and effective way to help children manage stress, anxiety, fears and anger.

  • I ordered A Boy and a Turtle based on my therapist’s advice. This book is one wonderfully relaxing story that has shown my child how to relax with the turtle by using this visualization technique. My son loves the story and asked for it whenever he is over stimulated, stressed or angry. It is easy to follow along, the illustrations are adorable and he falls asleep.

  • I have been using visualization relaxation techniques for years. I recently decided to teach my child visualizing to manage his anxiety, and fall asleep in less time. A Boy and A Turtle made it easy. All I had to do was read him the story and the boy and the turtle did the work for me. My son was sleeping by the time the color purple was swirling in his head. My son announced in the morning that he had the best sleep ever. I recommend this colorful book for all children. Also check out Indigo Dreams by the same author.

  • First I will begin by listing the programs/CD’s/books that I have purchased from Lite Books. 4 books: A Boy and a Bear, The Affirmation Web, A Boy and a Turtle and The Goodnight Caterpillar plus 5 audio CDs: Indigo Dreams, Indigo Ocean Dreams, Indigo Dreams: Garden of Wellness, Indigo Teen Dreams and Indigo Dreams: Adult Relaxation plus: Children’s Stress Awareness Curriculum Designed for Youth Education. Next I will say “THEY ARE ALL AMAZING!” For 9 years I worked as an advocate for children in a homeless shelter for women and children. I was constantly challenged with finding resources that were short, effective, and held the attention of the children. I was able to find resources but not all in one spot, I had to piece a little of this and a little of that to reach a fully rounded program that worked. The tools that Lori Lite created within each book and each CD offer short, highly effective programs that hold the attention of children. And best of all it is a package deal! You do not have to pull from any other program because the tools that she gives you are all you need. I am now an HHP and use the books and CD’s when working with children of any age to simply give them powerful tools that they can use in daily life and hopefully carry into teen and adult hood. In my opinion Lite Books offer the best resources available to the health and wellness of children on the market. Within my own life I use the CD’s as a nightly staple within the bedtime process of my children. They have not been able to stay awake long enough to finish even one of the stories on the CD yet. That is how relaxing the CD’s are. For myself I have to stay sitting up when tucking them in and listening with them because if I get comfortable I am waking up in the middle of the night still in my kid’s room! During daylight hours and when my children are well rested I have worked each session on the CD’s with them from beginning to end. Now when they are feeling overwhelmed, frightened, angry, etc… I will see them use the techniques they have learned through Lori’s programs, they move quickly from the negative feeling to a positive approach and positive result. Lite Books offers professional and friendly customer service, with great shipping time. I am so grateful to have found this amazing resource and look forward to being one of their strongest professional advocates as well as personal customers!
