A fun and exciting activity book for kids and families
About The author
Sue Tobert has spent more than 30 years helping children feel brave, curious, and wonderfully capable. She’s a retired Special Education teacher, an Educational Therapist, and a certified children’s yoga instructor — the kind of grown-up who knows how to turn learning into something joyful, gentle, and full of possibility.
She holds a master’s degree in social work and is certified in special education, general education, and kids’ yoga. Over the years, Sue has taught deaf and hard of hearing students, supported learners with diverse needs, and brought movement and mindfulness into classrooms long before it was trendy.
Along the way, she blended her love of teaching and yoga into Yogademics, her own child-centered tutoring method that helps elementary students build real academic skills while staying grounded, focused, and confident.
After decades of guiding children toward calm and connection, she created Happi’s World as a playful invitation for kids to stretch, breathe, imagine, and discover what centered feels like — all with Happi the Lemur cheering them on.
Now happily retired from the school system, Sue spends her days doing yoga, reading, traveling, volunteering, and tending to her ever-growing jungle of plants. These are the things that keep her inspired as she continues sharing Happi’s World with kids, families, and classrooms everywhere.
About The Book
Happi’s World is a bright, joyful adventure led by Happi the Lemur — a curious little friend who loves big stretches, deep breaths, and moments of quiet magic. Inside the book, kids explore simple yoga poses, calming mandalas, hidden pictures, word searches, and creative challenges that make them feel steady, focused, and proud of themselves.
Each page gives children a chance to move their bodies, use their imagination, and discover a little pocket of calm whenever they need it. It’s screen-free, kid-friendly, teacher-approved, and designed to bring mindfulness and movement into everyday moments at home, in classrooms, libraries, camps, therapy sessions, and anywhere kids gather to learn and play.
