"Through Cher’s adventures, I hope to spark conversations with children and their caregivers about the benefits of being truly present and aware with all of our senses, to fully experience life joyfully with more confidence, less worry, and inspiring ideas to experience a positive outlook."

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Mindfulness, being fully present and aware, can shape our self-perception and our understanding of the world. It helps us recognize our feelings and appreciate each day. Mindfulness is a significant yet often overlooked human capability.
Given the complexities of the world, children may find it hard to manage their feelings, be authentic, maintain a positive outlook, and practice mindfulness.
Imagine if we could remind our children, and ourselves, to be mindful, authentic, positive, and thankful daily. What if we could encourage children to build a strong foundation of mindfulness for well-being and a fulfilling life? Furthermore, what if we could impart these lessons in a positive and joyful manner, enabling everyone to thrive, grow, and appreciate what they have? I believe this is possible, and I trust in your ability to nurture and guide the children in your lives.
Let's embark on this journey together.
Best regards,
Jane

Dear Educators,
I'm excited to introduce my new book, *Hi! I'm Cher. I Go Everywhere!*, a true story offering insight into the daily life of my working dog, Cher. This book playfully highlights the importance of playfulness and mindfulness, valuable lessons Cher teaches me and inspires in others daily. This book was a collaborative effort, inspired by my children, Cher, and my experiences as an elementary school teacher, wellness educator, and author.
A key feature of *Hi! I'm Cher. I Go Everywhere!*, along with its companion video series, *chergoeseverywhere*, is its interactive nature. Each lesson is supported by engaging activities designed to encourage reflection, creativity, and practical application. Through hands-on exercises like finger painting, movement, and writing, these activities reinforce learning, making mindfulness principles accessible to various learners, especially those who learn best through tactile experiences. Recognizing diverse learning styles, *Hi! I'm Cher. I Go Everywhere!* ensures every child can connect with its message meaningfully.
*Hi! I'm Cher. I Go Everywhere!* is more than a book; it’s a well-being initiative! The Cher Goes Everywhere brand includes:
* A stuffed animal: A comforting companion for classrooms and homes, promoting emotional connection, support, comfort, and calm.
* Cher's Corner with coloring and activity sheets: Creative resources aligned with the book's themes, helping teachers and parents integrate mindfulness, gratitude, health, and well-being into daily learning and curriculum.
The Cher Goes Everywhere series also offers educators innovative ways to incorporate social-emotional learning. By combining the book and materials with the emotional support of Cher stuffed animals, teachers can create a safe and nurturing environment for students, teaching them to respond to feelings, manage emotions, and cultivate a positive attitude. My hope is that it will help children experience joyful moments, embrace laughter, song, dance, celebration, and feel confident in being themselves.
I sincerely hope you and the children you teach and inspire will enjoy reading and sharing *Hi! I'm Cher. I Go Everywhere!* on all your adventures.
Wishing you a delightful, enriching, and engaging reading experience, and may you and the children in your lives remain joyfully mindful and super awesome!
Warmly,
