Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler's
When Mama Grows With Me
In When Mama Grows with Me, a mama and her son create their own garden, starting with just a few small seeds and ending with a beautiful display of flowers. They observe how pollinators help the earth stay healthy, learn how to care for plants, and meet other critters that live in their garden, all while playfully shaping their bodies into yoga poses inspired by nature. Not only do Mama and her son learn valuable lessons about their garden, but along the way, they also learn to practice patience.
By
pairing lessons with movement, Rebecca Wheeler helps young readers make
connections between the natural world and their own emotional experiences.
Learn the value of patience and practice some fun yoga poses in this
beautifully illustrated children’s book.
Includes
a step-by-step guide to each yoga pose!

About the Author
Rebecca
Wenrich Wheeler was raised in West Point, a small town in the Tidewater region
of Virginia. From the moment she submitted her first short story to a young
author’s contest in second grade, Rebecca knew she wanted to be a writer. Her
love of writing led her to earn a BA in English and an MEd in English
education. She spent several years as a high school teacher, during which she
also developed a passion for mental health advocacy. Rebecca completed an MA in
professional counseling and now works in school-based mental health and as a
college adjunct psychology instructor.
Rebecca
also teaches yoga for the young and the young at heart, and she likes to infuse
yoga and breathwork in her counseling practice wherever she can. She believes
the most valuable use of her time is teaching youth how to love and care for
each other and the world around them. Her stories share this focus on positive
relationships and a love of nature. Rebecca now lives in Durham, North
Carolina, with her husband, two children, and two spoiled Siamese cats.
When Mama Grows with Me is Rebecca’s third book. Her first
picture book in the yoga series, When
Daddy Shows Me the Sky released November 2021, and her first YA novel, Whispering Through Water, released
January 2023.
