Kimberly Snyder

I rated this children’s book 5 ⭐️.

The story flowed smoothly, making it easy to grasp the lesson it conveyed. The friendship between the gorilla and lemur intrigued me—such an unusual pairing for a children’s book, which adds uniqueness and diversity.

Reflecting on my own upbringing, I lacked role models who understood emotional handling. Consequently, I struggled with managing my feelings. While I wish this book had existed during my childhood, learning now remains valuable. show more Additionally, the meditation guide at the book’s end is timely and essential. Being able to teach mindfulness and emotional regulation to children is valuable and can indeed prevent unnecessary pain later in life. So, regardless of personal beliefs, meditation benefits mental well-being.

Overall, this book imparts vital lessons to children, empowering them to navigate emotions—whether anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, or happiness. Understanding and expressing feelings become easier, especially when confiding in a trusted adult. I eagerly anticipate Kimberly Snyder’s future works, given my admiration for her podcast and interview with Michael Beckwith. I am definitely going to buy the physical version for my kids, nieces and nephews.

[‎Sunday, ‎December ‎22, ‎2013] In the mid of 2013, I discovered Kimberly Snyder, who believed in eating our way to a radiant skin, renewed energy and reaching our best potential.

This book changed my life and how I view health, beauty and food. It's a must. But I think it's very hard to follow and very expensive and time consuming as well. I will try my best.

As I go on reading, I noticed that Kimberly forgot that people don't just eat to survive and heal, they eat to enjoy show more themselves and they have favorite dishes and so on. I made an attempt to try the Glowing Green Smoothie but I couldn't stand it; until I found a local shop that makes organic healthy food and drink, I tried their green drink and I loved it. It's way lighter and more bearable to my stomach. In all honesty I'm afraid to try her recipes now, they seems so Foreign to me, the other thing is I'm Arabic, we have one of the best cuisines in the world, her food seem to have no flavor, and she doesn't eat meat.

I love the concept of the food, but I'm not sure how easy it is to work it in my life. I might have to edit the recipes. show less

Chilla Gorilla and Lanky Lemur Journey to the Heart is a sweet, cheerful children’s picture book. Lanky Lemur is an anxious, fearful, and quick-to-anger cute little guy. Chilla Gorilla, true to his name, is a very Zen sort of fellow. The two are good friends, and Chilla Gorilla teaches Lanky Lemur lessons on how to stay calmer, less afraid, and be all-around happier by using the wisdom of his heart. Donald Wu has illustrated the story with adorable illustrations of both the title show more characters, as well as other jungle animals. Mighty Chilla Gorilla has a very good lesson for all of us.
