Where Beauty Blossoms

Ubuhle and her puppy dog, Uthando, are daydreaming in the sun when they meet a wise butterfly who teaches them the true meaning of beauty. A story that teaches children the meaning of self-love, healthy confidence and the power of positive affirmations.

Included in this book is a mandala to be used as a mindfulness colouring activity for children. Mandalas have many uses apart from meditation and relaxation.

The colouring of the mandalas is used as a healing tool associated with removing negative thought patterns, and assist with alleviating stress and anxiety. It allows the creative mind to run free.
