An illustrated picture book for children that guides them through an end-of-day Moon Salutation yoga flow.
Hello, Moon! A Yoga Moon Salutation for Bedtime takes children on a guided Moon Salutation yoga flow that will spark their imaginations and help them wind down at the end of the day. A companion volume to Hello, Sun! A Yoga Sun Salutation to Start Your Day, Hello, Moon! is an accessible and joyful introduction to yoga for kids.
The latest from the illustrator of the beloved Good Night Yoga and Good Morning Yoga picture books, Hello, Moon! gives children a great way to connect with their bodies and calm their thoughts as they relax into naptime or bedtime.
Author and illustrator Sarah Jane Hinder is a children's yoga instructor, and kids can actually do the poses or variations on the poses included in the book. They will breathe, stretch, bend, and sway as they follow an adventure to the moon! Hinder's bright color palette and whimsical illustrations are filled with imagery from space and fun details for kids to find.
For parents, grandparents, teachers, and childcare providers, Hello, Moon! offers the perfect introduction to yoga for little ones, through an adventure story that celebrates the Earth and beyond into the night sky.
The book includes step-by-step instructions as part of a complete illustrated flow of poses at the back, as well as a brief history of Moon Salutations.

A companion volume to Hello, Sun! A Yoga Sun Salutation to Start Your Day, this picture book by children’s yoga instructor and mindfulness teacher Hinder features a blue-haired child with apricot-colored skin, wearing a spaceship-printed pajama top and fuchsia pants, as they participate in an extended series of yoga poses, or a “flow,” through space landscapes before settling into bed. Extra touches of whimsy define the scenes with deep violet and blue starry-printed digital backgrounds; depictions of space travel; smiling anthropomorphic bats and insects; and friendly, pillow-shaped green aliens. Some lines are less effective than others (“Lunar salute/ the white ball in the sky”), but this offers a simple, comprehensive walkthrough of a moon salutation yoga flow for budding yogis. Back matter features a spread illustrating the full mandala flow with more in-depth instructions. Ages 4–8.
